LinkSwarm for October 30, 2012

I was going to have an insightful, data-filed post on the Texas 23rd Congressional district race, but then I realized that the Los Angeles Times data I was relying on flipped at least one bit of information (NRA-ILA is doing independent expenditures against Pete Gallego, not against Rep.

Texas Vs. California: 13 Days Before the Election Roundup

With the election less than two weeks away, time for a roundup of how the champions of their respective political models (Texas for Red States and California for Blue States) are doing: Why is gasoline so expensive in California? Because Californian politicians have made it that expensive. (Hat tip: Dwight.) California is getting ready to… Continue reading Texas Vs. California: 13 Days Before the Election Roundup
