If the historic trends continue with the 1998 Congressional elections,
this will be a rough Fall for the Democrats. Every major mid-term
election has seen the president's party take a drubbing at the
polls.
But this year could be different. With issues ranging from tax
cuts to managed care to social security, candidates are hitting
the campaign trails to spread their visions and round up votes.
But all of this is taking place in the shadow of possible impeachment
hearings. Whatever may happen, the 1998 Congressional elections
promise to be anything but usual.
What are the issues shaping the election in your area? Is the
media covering the Monica Lewinsky matter at the cost of the election?
What issues will drive your decisions at the polls this Fall?
Is it Managed Care? Education? Crime? Let us know. We will post
selections of your responses and your reactions to the broadcasts
later this month.
