New: The Odd Years
The Cook Political Report is excited to introduce the Odd Years.
In political parlance, the “odd year” is the year in which there is no national election; that is: any odd-numbered year.
Odd can also refer to something that is unusual or unpredictable. Like an interview with a writer or actor or athlete that highlights a topic or trend that isn’t normally associated with traditional political discourse.
This series is designed for all of us who are multi-dimensional. Yes, it’s going to focus on politics (after all that’s not only our passion but our expertise as well). But, it’s also going to expand the definition of a ‘political program.’
