"This book provides a clear and compelling commentary on Election 2002 by a distinguished set of writers-everything you wanted to know about the midterm election, but were afraid to ask. Must reading for all who are polishing their crystal balls for 2004."
    -Darrell M. West, Brown University

"This trenchant analysis of George W. Bush at midterm time is the first to examine how an accidental president became politically potent enough to defy conventional wisdom and lead his party to unprecedented success in 2002. By raising the specter of a new midterm paradigm that will give political scientists considerable fodder for future research, Sabato does it again. Midterm Madness is an outstanding addition to the library of anyone interested in campaigns and elections"
