TeeVee Will Rot Your Brain; Read Dante Instead

by: Dean Barker

Fri Oct 23, 2009 at 21:26:24 PM EDT


Dante Scala that is, New Hampshire's most perceptive political scientist.  

If you turn on WMUR this Sunday, you can watch Jennifer Donahue.

Or if you value your sanity, and would also like to learn something about Granite State politics, you could check out Dante Scala's latest work instead (which Pindell apparently Scribd), done under the aegis of Brigham Young's Center for the Study of Elections and Democracy.  I was going to read it first and then post on it, but, duh, that's so gatekeeper of me, and contrary to the whole spirit of this place.  Have at it!

Scala's write up of 2008 NH Elections

Holy Cow! (4.00 / 2)
It's 36 pages long!  That's just too much for me to take in on a Saturday morning.  So far, I've loved everything I've read.  He just nails NH on its hard little head.

Thank you, Professor.  I can't wait until I am asked to write a letter in support of you for tenure!
