In the contemporary age of party polarization, moderate members of Congress have found their electoral fortunes to be dependent upon their party s control of the House. Whether Democrat or Republican, members of moderate factions surprisingly receive considerably more support in terms of electoral strategy and finances when their party is in the minority and less when it is in the majority. This paper examines the electoral challenges faced by members of the Democratic Blue Dog Coalition and the Republican Main Street Partnership in the election cycles of 1994 to 2008
