...voter. In states that ax primaries, the parties will return to older methods of choosing a candidate--caucuses or conventions--for next year's campaign. "Most voters are not going to take a day off and go to a party caucus," says University of Virginia professor Larry Sabato. "That guarantees most won't have a voice." --By Mitch Frank
Even if Congress moves to restrict the money flow, some experts say, the effect might not be what the reformers hope for. "Almost exactly the same amount would be spent but in different ways," predicts University of Virginia veteran campaign-finance watcher Larry Sabato. Companies, trade groups and unions would fund more grassroots organizing, phone banks, voter-registration drives and ads, among other things, he asserts. Assuming that ever creative political pros will always find--or make--a hole in the dike through which more money can pour, some argue that trying to limit contributions isn't the best approach...

...have been in modern U.S. history. Most important, over the past 20 years or so, the two parties have been losing the grip they once had on the majority of voters. "People no longer care about parties the way they once did," says University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato. "Seventy percent of the electorate is up for grabs." Voter mistrust of both parties is running as high as it was during Watergate-by some surveys, higher. That sense of alienation is coming not from the perennial malcontents of the left and the right but from the center. "The political...
