The central political issue in American politics during the 1990s is the need for political campaign reform. The authors examine the United States Senate elections to determine the potential impact of several electoral reform proposals. They conclude that spending limits, contribution limits, and public financing proposals will not necessarily have the impact expected by advocates. The final fate of reform resides with self-interested incumbents who will design reform.
