Show AA6 The Sait Lake Tribucs OPINION Sunday March 15 1993 Battle Lines Are Drawn for This Falls House Races Or more genuine The differences in policy and even philosophy between the Democrats and Republicans are as large as they have been at any time since the New Deal The great debates especially on the role of government and the taxes to support it now fall along party lines just as they did then Franklin Roosevelt made the Republican leaders of the House the famous trilogy of Martin Barton and Fish the focus of scorn in his campaign Now Democrats will make Newt Speaker Gingrich their bogeyman and Republicans will try to do the same thing with Minority Leader Dick Gephardt With Democrats needing only an 11 seat pickup to regain the House majority they lost for the first time in 40 years back in 1994 DAVID SBRODER imy 3 THE WASHINGTON POST WASHINGTON The effort and money expended in the first House special election of the year a California contest won last Tuesday by Democrat Lois Capps is a f to the biggest political fact of 1998 For all the make-nic- e talk between the parties during last years successful budget negotiations the rivalry has never been more intense tip-of- -- every open seat and every district not just politics As National Journal reported last week in its votes If anyanalysis of thing the 1997 session featured a won by a narrow margin in 1998 will be as fiercely contested as the race between Capps and Assem- roll-ca- ll blyman Tom Bordonaro That battle produced an unexpectedly wide margin for the widow of Rep Walter Capps who in 1996 became the first Democrat in a to capture the Santa Barbara-Sa- n Luis Obispo district Gephardt said her victory made him very optimistic Democrats w ill recapture the House in November Rep John Linder of Georgia chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee was just as quick to predict that Bordonaro will win the rematch in November when the same two candidates face off for a full term These partisan battles are for real stakes They are about policy hardening of party lines on everyday votes The partisan differences ran across the board on virtually all issues economic social or foreign policy Much the same point had been made in January when Congressional Quarterly National Journal's older rival reported its breakdown of 1997 House voting It found virtually no overlap between the two parties on the roll-calwhere the lines were clearly drawn On those votes 88 percent of House Republicans and 82 percent of House Democrats backed the position of their respective parties Some voters decry this partisanship But the truth is more half-centu- Church Olympics Dont Mix ls non-Latin- CardnejnrjchooS should be a timely warning to Salt Lake City and the

moderate or progressive Republicans from New England the Middle Atlantic states and the upper Midwest Those areas where the Republican Party was born once elected dozens of GOP members comfortable about voting with Democrats on civil rights the environment and other issues But as GOP strength has ebbed in those areas Democrats have taken over those seats Again the result is fewer crossovers and more unity on each side On almost all the issues it makes a real difference whether Gingrich or Gephardt is in the speakers chair whether Republican Bill Archer from a Houston district or Democrat Charles Rangel from Harlem is chairman of Ways and Means And that is why individual House races become expensive national party battlegrounds and more interestcomplicated ing The reason there is virtually no overlap between Republicans and Democrats in the House is that both parties have been undergoing profound makeovers The result is more internal cohesion on each side and a bigger ideological gulf between them During most of the four decades from 1954 to 1994 when Democrats controlled the House a big chunk of their nominal strength came from Southerners who were conservative enough to feel very comfortable voting with the Republicans on many defense and domestic issues o But now there are only 34 white Southern Democrats left in the House The other 103 seats from the region are held either by Republicans who provide the conservative core of their party or by African-America- n and Hispanic Democrats who tend to be liberals pm 532-45- 26 7:00 am - 4:00 pm Monday
