My co-author Caroline Tolbert and I have published a piece in the New York Times online "Room for Debate" about what Iowans want from their caucus candidates.

See my blog posting on Encyclopedia Brittanica on why the current presidential nominating process is not bizarre, archaic, or otherwise undesirable.

Our book on the role Iowa plays in the presidential nominating process is now available. In Why Iowa? How Caucuses and Sequential Elections Improve the Presidential Nominating Process, my co-authors Caroline Tolbert and Todd Donovan and I explore the place of Iowa in a sequential system. We conclude that despite its problems and limitations, the Iowa Caucuses provide significant benefits in the existing presidential nominating system. The book can be ordered now on Amazon and you can see a preview of it on Google Books. It's published by the University of Chicago Press.

THE RUTGERS-EAGLETON POLL: Follow our blog at http://eagletonpollblog.wordpress.com. You can also learn more about the poll at http://eagletonpoll.rutgers.edu.

Here's a short piece I published in the New York Times online edition about how motivated reasoning effects can help explain resistance to facts showing President Obama was born in Hawai'i.
