NEW YORK TIMES

Your Privacy Concerns Probably Reflect Your Politics A new study on surveillance finds that Republicans tend to feel pleased about tracking, both online and in real life, while Democrats often feel bad about it. – Natasha Singer (DIERSEN: The more skeletons that you have in your closet, the more that you want privacy.

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— How Bad Is It for House Republicans? It’s not great. But the Democrats’ frequently touted fundraising edge is overstated. – Karl Rove
https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-bad-is-it-for-house-republicans-1525302958
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The real trend in fundraising strength for these campaigns won’t be revealed until the quarter after each state’s primary. If races like Rep. Peter Roskam’s in the Sixth District of Illinois are any example, the advantage for GOP incumbents seems likely to grow. Mr. Roskam has more than $2.4 million in cash after the March 20 primary, while the winning Democrat was forced by the primary to spend down his funds to just $192,000.)
