ת Political Makeup of Congress in the 20th Century: Graphics. My high school classmate, Mr. Sherwood, brought to my attention a wonderful site by Poole and Rosenthal on the Democrat-Republican and Economic-Social Conservative-Liberal dimensions, a site that includes mesmerizing animated gifs over time. If you want to see how real scholars do this, as opposed to the fun but amateur Political Compass, go here. You can tell these professor love political statistics the way sports fans love baseball statistics. Professor Poole's course webpage has an even greater treasury of graphs and statistics. I'll have to tell my industrial organization class, G601, since we've recently been doing location models.
