Its interesting - maybe depressing - to think about how really elections boil down to two things. All the speeches and ad and money spent on campaigns is really just theatre. All that matters is how the economy is doing and how partisan a district is. Pretty much, if a district is D, it will vote D no matter what, and the same for R districts. Districts that are less partisan will be won by the party in power if the economy is going well, and by the party out of power if it is not going well.
What behavior does this recommend to people in congress?
