Red State, Blue State, Rich State, Poor State: Why Americans Vote the Way They Do by Andrew Gelman

jeremy's review

3.0

The book had lots of detailed data, but it was a little too dry for reading on the bus. A little too much review of the raw data and not enough analysis to satisfy me. The basic argument about how pundits misunderstood red state vs. blue state was easy to make, but the book pursued it at length. Some of the key observations seemed a little obvious.
