For Table 4, the coefficients for two of the variables (“Change in Democratic campaign expenditure, 2004-2008” and “Change in Republican campaign expenditure, 2004-2008”) appear in the first column, under the heading Model 1, but these entries should be in the second column, under Model 2. The correct title for Table 5 is “Regression Analysis of Change in Con- gressional Campaign Spending, 2004-2008.” The correct note for that table should read “Entries are unstandardized regression coefficients, with stan- dard errors in parentheses. The dependent variable is the change in the cam- paign spending by the designated party in the district from 2004 to 2008. Vote percentages are measured as percentages of the two-party vote, and the congressional vote is adjusted as explained earlier. Change in the campaign expenditure is measured in hundreds of thousands of dollars and is adjusted as explained earlier. The loss or gain of incumbent by either party measures whether there was a change in the incumbency situation of a seat between 2004 and 2008. See the text for details on these variables.” We apologize for the errors.
