A brief study of the phenomenon came last week from the Historical Research Foundation, showing how some politicians who do not fit the traditional political patterns of their districts have won election by emphasizing sincerity, honesty, good cheer and hard work instead of ideology. Using the modern tools Congressmen have voted themselves-jet travel, television, staff experts - the incumbents have rooted themselves to their home ground and loosened their ties to the capital...
