A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR:

Here we are again. Only 676 days since Florida finished counting its vote for President and only 41 days since they screwed it up again in September 2002. Seems like just yesterday we were counting chads and yet how different the world has become since September 11, 2001.

Welcome to the Campaign 2002 Briefing Book. The book contains background information on the candidates and campaigns for U.S. Senate, Governor and U.S. House of Representatives. It also contains background on some of the 2002 referenda and initiatives, ranging from medical marijuana to genetically engineered food, which will also be on the November ballots. With the help of CBS News correspondent Mark Knoller, we’ve included the details on the huge role President Bush has played in this year’s campaign and we look at some of his potential Democratic competitors for 2004. At the end of the book we’ve included the list of political campaign consultants and campaign committees with phone numbers and e-mail addresses for those who want to do some more reporting on these races.

The briefing materials were written and researched by the Election and Survey Unit staff with the help of several fabulous interns. The Senate chapter was reported and written by Douglas Kiker, the Governors by Susan Semeleer and Steve Chaggaris and the House by Elizabeth Fulk, with the assistance of CBS News consultant Mark Gersh and the staff of National Journal’s Cook Report. CBS News intern and George Washington University senior Kelly Doherty, under the direction of Douglas Kiker, compiled the Presidential chapter. The referenda section is the work of interns Greta Bradlee, a senior at and Brian Keaney, a senior at Catholic University. Our lists of consultants and contacts were updated and put together by interns Lauren Puerner, Greta Bradlee, Evan Hirsh and Christopher Pryor.

As always, we have Ned Steinberg to thank for the cover and Janet Leissner and Tom Mattesky to thank for their support and encouragement.
