The Cambridge Civic Journal

I just linked to the Cambridge Civic Journal a couple of minutes ago, but it's pretty awesome if you're interested in Cambridge politics. All sort of graphs and bars and statistics. Like this (swiped because there's not proper permalink over there ):

That's the age distribution for the 2006 election. See that late-30s bump? Somebody made the young'uns come out to vote for Democrats. I wonder if that was a national trend that boosted the Democrats in.

Here's another little bit.

Council Orders and Resolutions: 2006 - 2007 through Oct 29, incl. late orders of Oct 22
2006-2007	P	I	R	M	D	C	A	F
Davis	125	66	28	64	34	146	17	6
Decker	49	31	5	30	7	116	9	1530
Galluccio	55	55	6	35	319	147	3	2
Kelley	83	122	14	41	2	39	3	1
Maher	1	3	0	4	10	7	0	0
Murphy	60	10	11	22	7	95	6	2
Reeves	37	10	5	17	62	421	78	2
Simmons	73	51	19	46	24	139	14	1
Sullivan	90	69	24	113	763	550	68	4
Toomey	48	32	7	55	264	154	19	3
Total	398	348	90	332	1155	1517	193	1540

where F by the way stands for Foreign and National Policy matters. What the hell is Marjorie Decker doing? Cambridge is a pretty cosmopolitan town, but REALLY?! You're not on the Senate Foreign Affairs subcommittee here. My god!

Cool stuff over there.
