Dancing without Partners intensively analyzes the relationships among candidates, political parties, and interest groups under the B.C.R.A.'s new regulations in the 2004 election cycle in five battleground states. The chapters assess the ways in which the rules of the game have changed the game itself_and also how they haven't.
