I've been trying to follow your stuff ever since Felix mentioned your work being the empirical backing of his "Normal Whites" theory. I'm happy to say that I've really enjoyed your work on this platform so far.
I'm hoping you do one or both of Jesse Jackson's presidential runs because I honestly know very little about them and didn't even know he ran until a few years ago.
Just a note to make sure to copyedit these. I look forward to all this. I did a short lived politics and religion podcast and have to say it’s really rewarding. Once you do it a bit figure out a structure that works. I would recommend Ed Burmila as an early guest.
Excellent, I assumed you were making the steps to ‘go pro’.
I have seen your content as a great next step past poll tea reading into actual analysis. 538 has just always whiffed for me in connecting data to historical-cultural context. Their Kavanaugh liveblog was just atrocious. Great work.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work. I’ll second Jeff M. on the Jackson campaigns. I’ve always thought Jackson got overlooked because he wasn’t covered in Cramer’s What It Takes, which seems to be THE campaign book for a big chunk of the press. I think one could make the case Jackson’s runs were the clear precursors of both Obama and Sanders.
I'm not sure how familiar you are with the more local dynamics of Georgian politics, but something I think is missing from a lot of political analysis is a discussion of the messier realities of local/state politics, even in a pivotal state like Georgia.

I haven’t done a ton of research about Jackson but that’s a very interesting idea

Don’t worry—I just hired a copyeditor on retainer recently

Man I am so excited for what you've got coming.
Will you also cover McGovern's '84 campaign in the Legacy piece on '72?
I’ll see—I know some people who may have some knowledge about it!
hell yeah baby I'm making a new batch of popcorn
Sounds great! Excited to read more of your work in the months to come
Thank you for the kind words!
Art of Losing about NY politics in 2022 would be a great read. NY Dems in general suck above their weight so would be nice to know more about.
Need that William Jennings Brian newsletter ASAP
inject the clinton loss pieces directly into my veins, most fun to hate politician ever
