This book on Congressional politics and elections was assigned reading in a political science course I took in college. It covered campaign strategy, voting behavior, national forces, gerrymandering, election law, presidential coattail, the power of the incumbency, divided government, campaign finance and more. It's a very scholarly book with charts and loads of statistics. I never found it dry--I found it fascinating in fact. But then, I was a political science major by choice, with a background in campaigns--so of course this would appeal to my inner political geek. If I have any reservations in recommending it, it's that its very currency back in 1997 would mean a lot of the information--I would especially assume that to be the case in campaign finance--would be outdated.

Gary Jacobson's classic text provides students with a comprehensive introduction to congressional elections and the electoral process. Based on the latest data from the National Election Study, the Cooperative Congressional Elections Study, and the Federal Election Commission, the Ninth Edition has been brought completely up to date, including coverage and analysis of the 2012 and 2014 elections. New coauthor, Professor Jamie L. Carson of the University of Georgia, brings to bear new insights into the changing roles of voters, Congress, political parties, and the media. Pairing historical data analysis and original research with fundamental concepts of representation and responsibility, The Politics of Congressional Elections presents students with the tools to evaluate representative government, as well as their own role in the electoral process.
