Almanac of American Politics [find in your library, or on line] [below taken from website]

As in previous editions, the 2010 Almanac includes profiles of every member of Congress and every governor; in-depth and completely up-to-date narrative profiles of all 50 states and 435 House districts—covering everything from economics to history to, of course, politics. It also contains author Michael Barone' s analysis of the 2008 presidential elections, congressional elections and redistricting battles. New to this edition is a statistical breakdown of the 2008 presidential vote by state and congressional district, plus coverage of all recent special elections.
