Abstract
- The article examines the electoral consequences to U.S. legislators who opposed the authorization of the use of force in Iraq. A district level analysis shows that Democrats who opposed the Iraq resolution ran behind other incumbent Democrats in 2004. Exit polls also indicate that voter attitudes on the War on Terror and the War in Iraq closely follow partisanship and the presidential vote in structuring the vote for incumbents.
