Guest Post @WhoRulesWhere Mk. III

The second part of my US Mid-Term preview is up on the WhoRulesWhere blog. This post is focussed on the key battles for Governorships and State Legislatures. Fred seems to think the key selling point of the article is the lovely picture! The elections are taking place tomorrow so if you want a quick overview of what's been happening across the pond I'd like to think my articles fit the bill. If you missed it earlier in the week, here's the first one on the Congressional elections.

Any fans of our Thursday night by-election tweeting may be pleased to hear we'll be up all night tomorrow to cover the US elections. We'll be tweeting from @BritainVotes, @tnjharris and @CTerry1985. Fred will also be around on @WhoRulesWhere. Although Eastern Time is four hours behind GMT the night shouldn't be much longer than a UK election. Many states' polling stations close as early as 6pm, so we're likely to know what the overall picture is earlier than this year's General Election!

Guest Post @WhoRulesWhere Mk. II

Following in Chris' footsteps I've written a guest post on the US mid-terms for Fred Carver's WhoRulesWhere blog. It's focussed on the US Congressional races, and I'm handing over another post on the Gubernatorial and State Legislature elections later in the week. The post is designed to give an overview for anyone who is interested in US Politics but hasn't really been following the current campaign too closely. However, if you have been keeping up to date then feel free to head over and disagree with my analysis! Finally, a quick warning; it's pretty epic. I'd recommend settling down with a nice cup of tea before you start!

I've written a guest post over at Who Rules Where a blog by Fred Carver about international politics. It is an exploration of the 2010 Dutch coalition formation, so if you're interested please do go take a look! The post can be found here.
