About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html

Stephen Dubner blogged about a recent study on party affiliations at a local level at the NY Times Freakonomics blog.

Using empirical data, two Wharton economists found that party affiliation does not correlate with spending, crime rates, etc. at a local level (of course, this doesn't apply to national politics).

The study can be found here.
