Due to some light post on the twitter during Week 3 (I was in MA lending a head to Coakley), I decided combined week 3 and 4.  Without further ado, the best links for week 3 and 4 are the following:
1. They Gave Us The Beatles, We Gave Them Data.gov – Vivek Kundra introduces data.gov.uk on the white house blog. Since then, there has been also of buzz in the blogsphere about the data project.

Unlike other blog posts and articles analyzing the race, this is one is fairly balanced. I also wrote a post defending Coakley’s new media on E-Politics.com.
3. HOW TO: Set up a free online monitoring system – This is good guide for campaigns or organizations that are the just getting started in social media or have very tight budgets.

5. Gillibrand Gets GOP Challenger – New York attorney Bruce Blakeman announced that he will be challengingSen. Kirsten Gillibrand in the Fall. Since then, Harold Ford, Former Congressman for TN, has also been hinting that he may throw his hat in the race.
