ORNSTEIN EDITORS This volume, the second in a series initiated by the American Enterprise Institute on national elections in the United States, traces the key events and trends in the 1982 off-year or mid- term elections. Albert R. Hunt, in the first chapter, places the 1982 cam- paign in the context of national politics, focusing on the White House and on the policy debate framed by the legislative battles between president and Congress in 1981 and 1982. In chapter 2, Alan Ehrenhalf analyzes the effect of the redistricting and reapportionment following the 1980 census, which involved major efforts by both parties to gain leverage and seats. In chapter 3, Larry Sabato examines the role of parties, of political action committees, and of independent groups in financing the congressional campaigns-and thereby affecting their outcomes. John F. Bibby contributes a chapter analyzing the results of the contests for governorships and state legislatures. Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein conclude with a study of the election results and of their various interpretations by analysts and politicians alike. Appendixes present data in a historical context on the results and on campaign spending. Thomas E. Mann is executive director of the American Political Science Association and an adjunct scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. Norman J. Ornstein is professor of political science at the Catholic University of America and an AEI visiting scholar.
