Adkins, University of Nebraska, USA and david dulio, Oakland University, USA During the 2010 congressional elections, Republicans were able to take back control of Congress and Democrats were unable to stem this tide. Examining a sample of congressional campaigns waged during the 2010 election, Adkins and Dulio provide a clear explanation of the macro trends in this election cycle, followed by twelve in depth and fascinating case studies of House and Senate toss up races involving seats held by endangered Democratic incumbents. Framed by a common set of questions and topics, each chapter focuses on the micro-level effects active in the individual campaigns. Furthermore, the editors discuss how the 2010 cycle fits into the existing literature on campaigns and elections, and speculate on what might be ahead in 2012. In addition, the companion website provides instructors with useful teaching tools, including sample assignments, dynamic PowerPoint slides, graphs, and links to relevant YouTube clips.
