- Campaign spending matters more down the ballot. Ezra Klein is right on this. For more, see my first Moneyball post.
- It’s too early to pay attention to the Electoral College. Say it over and over. For more, see Jon Bernstein.

I mean no offense, but is that political pipeline blog worth posting, let alone twice? Perhaps if it is as a novelty that we can all snicker about, sure I get that (I have snickered at it quite a bit). It just seems that everything that is very poorly done, as if a scattered undergraduate threw it together. I don’t know, could just be me.
John, thanks so much for sending traffic my way, twice now! You know, the former comment doesn’t do some of my critics justice. For example, I had a person comment about the challenge page: “This is very asinine. Under the guise of a contest, we (other political science folks) will not do your research for you. Although, I could not count the things I would like more than to receive a certificate from a graduate student at a fifth tier university.” That’s the half of it.
Clearly, the person didn’t click on any of the “HERE” links–or look at what I actually research. John, how do you deal with these people? I doubt they created anything that we could judge!
Anyway, thanks for the traffic. I do hope that the site is useful to more people than me, and I’m glad these other people don’t have a monopoly on The Monkey Cage.
I’m a fan.
