WHAT DID REPUBLICIANS ACHIEVE IN THE ELECTION OF 1984? WHY DID THEY ACHIEVE IT? AND WHAT DOES IT SIGNIFY? A LITTLE OVER TEN YEARS AGO THE AUTHOR SERVED AS CHAIRMAN OF THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE. THE FATES HAD DEALT CRUELLY WITH THE GOP. IN 1974, IN THE WAKE OF WATERGATE, THE PARTY WAS IN DESPERATE SHAPE; THE REPUBLICANS HAD SUFFERED A NET LOSS IN THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF 52 SEATS. OF THE 35 GOVERNORSHIPS BEING CONTENDED FOR THAT YEAR, REPUBLICANS HAD LOST 28 OF THEM-80 PERCENT. FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THAT EXPERIENCE THE AUTHOR IS PLEASED BY 1984.
