Abstract
I present a two-period election model of incumbent campaign spending
where the challenger may learn about incumbent strength through incumbentbehavior and performance, and decide whether to enter. The results indicatethat challengers will focus on incumbent performance rather than behavior.These results are consistent with empirical findings on challenger entry.

Prepared for delivery at the 2004 Annual Meetings of the American Political Science Association,
Chicago, Illinois, September 2-5, 2004. I am grateful to David Austen-Smith, Steve Brams, JohnDuggan, Mark Fey, Becky Morton, and John Patty for comments and suggestions on a previousversion.
