We continue to do new research on red states, purple states, and all that. For convenience, we’ll be putting all updates at our general research blog. Enjoy!

Our book will be discussed on the Firedoglake book salon this Saturday, 10 Jan, from 5-7pm Eastern time. I don’t know exactly how this works, but my impression is that you can email in your questions/comments and I’ll be online to answer them. The discussion will be moderated by Matt Yglesias.

The New America Foundation in D.C. on Monday at noon.

The University of Chicago statistics department Tuesday at 4:30.

Book TV on C-Span 2.  Sat 18 Oct 7pm and Mon 20 Oct 6am.  It’s the video of our event at the Cato Institute last month:  Boris and me, introduced by Will Wilkinson and discussed by Michael McDonald and Brink Lindsey.  Here’s the link.

This is cool (from France-Amerique).

I was interviewed by Phil Ponce on Chicago Tonight, one of WTTW’s (Chicago Public Television) prime time programs on politics and culture. This was done on Thursday night at 7pm, live. A little nervewracking, but I think it came out ok. I have another TV interview with WNBC on Tuesday.

There’s a lot going on for those of you in the NY/NJ area.

1. On Monday morning I’m doing an activity on the Electoral College. But you can’t come to that unless you’re a 4th grader in Zacky’s school.

2. Monday 4.30pm at room 801 International Affairs Building (at Columbia), I’m speaking on Red State, Blue State in an event cosponsored by the Columbia Journalism School, with discussions by Nicholas Lemann and Thomas Edsall and moderated by Sharyn O’Halloran.

3. Monday 7pm at the Princeton Club in midtown Manhattan, I’m speaking and signing books. You can only go to this one if you’re a member of the club, I think.

4. Tuesday 4.30pm at Robertson Hall at the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University, there’s an event sponsored by the New York and New Jersey chapters of the American Association for Public Opinion Research, featuring Joe Lenski, Chris Achen, Larry Hugick, and myself. After the panel there will be lots of time for informal discussion as well.

I’m being interviewed live tomorrow, October 2 at 7pm on WTTW’s Chicago Tonight program with Phil Ponce. This is Chicago’s PBS station, so I’m not sure it’s broadcast more widely. Still, there should be a video link after the interview is done that I’ll post on the web site.

I’ll be talking about Red State, Blue State on the Kathleen Dunn show on Wisconsin Public Radio tomorrow (Tues 23 Sept), from 10-11 Central Time (that’s 11-12 Eastern Time). For the second half of the show, you can call in with questions!

We have a nice review in the latest Library Journal. This magazine is what librarians consult in making their purchasing decisions.
