Campaigns & Elections Dec. 06 issue

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

Campaigns & Elections has made their latest issue available for free online.

Approximately 100% of you reading this right now follow politics closely, and would make good use of a subscription. Those of you with short arms and deep pockets can still find some good stuff for free every month on the C&E website.

I’m a little bit biased here because I contribute the Missouri report for the Across State Lines section, but for what it’s worth, I’ve been a faithful reader since high school, throughout college, and beyond. You’ll find both big-picture strategy suggestions and nuts-and-bolts campaign tactics in every issue.

You’ll note that this issue’s cover story is on consultant won/loss records. That might be an interesting topic to delve further into on this blog next month, dontcha think?

Human Events: The Case for Mike Pence

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

Missourian Brian Johnson penned an excellent piece for Human Events which examined how Rep. Mike Pence stacks up against the GOP primary field.

Johnson stopped short of endorsing Pence outright, but points out the clear ideological edge the Indiana rep has against John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Rudy Giuliani.

I wonder whom Missouri conservatives will get behind?  Sam Brownback is right next door, and Mike Huckabee gets rave reviews from people who have met him.
