The cost of congressional and presidential campaigns has been leaping every two or four years. I think this year it will be 60 percent more than 1996; well over twice as much as in 1992 in the presidential and congressional races. ↗

The average GOP presidential vote in these last five elections was 44.5 percent. In the last three, it was 48.1 percent.
