Beginning today I’ll be posting on a weekly basis (or more frequently) over at the Economist‘s Democracy In America blog site. My first post, addressing Alan Abramowitz’s recent changes to his presidential forecast model, is up there now (here). Although I can’t cross-post anything I write for the Economist here, I will be sure to put up a link whenever I post there, and I encourage you to take peek.
As you might expect, given the Economist’s audience, I may have to be just a bit less irreverent and insouciant (you aren’t likely to see an entire “conversation”” with Sarah Palin written in palindromes, or political allegories involving Kim Kardashian for example), but otherwise I plan on addressing the same issues, from the same non-partisan perspective, as you’ve come to expect here at the Presidential Power site. And I will continue posting here as well – we’ve built up a pretty good readership over four years and I enjoy the bipartisan and thoughtful nature of the comments and the intellectual exchange. You don’t get that at very many political blogs.
So, go take a peek at my inaugural post at the Economist, but remember to check back here for my regular postings. As always, if you prefer to be put on the distribution list for postings here, drop me an email at dickinso@middlebury.edu. Your email address remains private.
