The Beyond Red & Blue blog is a tour of nearly everything that makes states, cities, and towns different from each other. It includes political analysis, commentary on demographic and economic patterns, and maps of all kinds. We cover both national and Massachusetts statewide issues.

Beyond Red & Blue is a project of CommonWealth magazine, the leading journal of politics, ideas and civic life in Massachusetts; and MassINC, the highly respected think tank that takes an independent, nonpartisan approach to issues affecting the growth and vitality of the middle class.
