After Republicans bucked historical trends and gained seats during the 2002 congressional elections, Al Gore, Tom Daschle and other prominent Democrats have placed some of the blame for their party's losses on conservative talk radio and the Fox News Channel.
But it is quite likely that most of these spots will go unfilled, making the 2002 elections more similar to the highly targeted congressional campaigns of 1998 and 2000 - when the number of House seats left uncontested by one of the major parties was in the vicinity of 15% to 20% - than the more broadly competitive congressional campaign of 1996.
A number of political considerations, largely relating to the November 2002 Congressional elections, prevented the bill from coming to the Floor of the Senate.
