| Summary: | A random sample of "Middletown" was used to study the election of a traditional family Republican candidate to a U.S. Congressional seat in Indiana. Unlike recent presidential elections, satisfaction with the economy was not an important factor in this election. What did have a significant impact was a general religiously conservative perspective on the part of an individual within a strict religious environment. Rational choice theory was used to develop the framework and explain the findings of this study. |
