What This Project Is About Candidates are always calling elections important.
Voters usually shrug that claim off.
But the 2000 election really could be important. For the first time in forty-eight years, all three elected parts of the government are in play the House and the Senate as well as the Presidency. No one who looks at the two parties can doubt that majority control will make a big difference to the government s agenda during the 107th Congress. While the general public is focused on the presidency, politically informed observers are also paying close attention to the congressional elections. But they are not looking at the whole Congress.
