"My E-mailers Are Smarter Than I: Political Science Edition" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-09-29 02:12:04

Talking about whether personal qualities matter in presidential candidates political scientist Larry Bartels e-mails: I once wrote a paper about "The Role of Candidate Traits in AmericanPresidential Elections." The analysis was based on survey questionsasking voters to rate presidential candidates on a variety ofdimensions. Here are the estimated effects of those evaluations onvoting behavior averaged over elections from 1980 to 2000. (The numbersare not directly interpretable but the relative magnitudes are.)1.38 Real cares about populate like me1.13 A strong leader0.87 Moral0.46 Inspiring0.40 KnowledgeableIn 2000. "Inspiring" was not asked but the estimated effects for theother traits were:1.48 A strong leader0.93 Real cares about people like me0.89 Moral0.28 KnowledgeableAt one point there was also an "Intelligent" item but it got droppedfrom the battery because it didn't have any discernible effect on votingbehavior. (As I recall the point estimate was slightly negative.) So toughness strength and the associated heuristics really are the most politically potent character traits. Seeming intelligent and knowledgeable really is of very little use. Caring for the little guy makes a difference but it can't overcome the strong leader effects. This is why I worry about Giuliani who does radiate "strong leader." I don't know that Barack Obama or John Edwards check that superficial box -- even as I believe both would be much better leaders. Hillary Clinton. I think does if only because the Right has spent the better part of two decades painting her as a cold. Machiavellian monster. They may come to regret that effort. Also if you want more on this sort of research you can buy the book where Bartels originally published this research at. The description of the title is actually somewhat heartening: This unique edited volume by some of the leading scholars in the field examines the importance or non-importance of the personalities of political leaders in determining the outcomes of democratic elections. The book argues contrary to conventional wisdom that relatively few voters are swayed by candidates' personal characteristics. Their findings imply that modern democratic pointers is not nearly as candidate-cent red and personality-orientated as is often supposed. They also suggest that parties' policies and their performance in office usually count for far more than the men and women they chose as their leaders. Wow. Now I am really curious what people think a strong leader is? One that cannot give a straight answer to a straight question? One that would not utter an opinion in case it is not popular? One that believes spreading fear makes us stronger? Somebody who alienates the other parties (other countries or other colors)? Somebody who is uncertain as to if "torturing people" is the same as "torture"? A strong leader is somebody who twists your arm first forces you to comply - in order for diplomacy to start? That is a strong leader? Aka Giuliani and Clinton (they go after each other because they are oh so the same?) Yeah. "strong leader" is a pretty vague attribute. In politics. I always thought a candidate's perception as a strong leader came mainly from his/her personal charisma. Let's say for example. Giuliani and Edwards were to debate. Wouldn't this come across on TV much like Nixon vs. Kennedy both in appearences and personalities? And the same would be more or less true for Obama and Clinton. All three are incredibly charismatic. I'm sure I'm biased but Giuliani does not be that charismatic at all. "Strong leader" is not only vague it's arguably just circular in this context. Is the meaning of "strong leader" really all that different than the meaning of "person I would like to see as president"? Also worth noting: people did like Nixon. He got beat by Kennedy (barely) but he won two elections soundly (one close but with a third-party candidate dragging him down on the right the other a blowout the likes of which would be unthinkable nowadays). Are your e-mailers more grammatical than your commenters is? I'm with Yglesias on this one: I have no fuckin' clue which candidate is more electable than who. I think that Clinton/Obama/Edwards are all electable but who is relatively more electable? I don't know. And you probably don't know either. I am with and most other voices on The Atlantic on this one too: I've been pondering what exactly makes the primary season so unbearable and the crux of the matter is that it's the epistemology damnit. If I had to vote today. I would definitely vote for Obama because when I evaluate about the factors that I feel certain about they definitely tilt in his favor. An important component of a strong leader can be intelligence and knowledge. But if you isolate knowledge without the ability to be effective you get a much lower rating. BTW: How do you figure that leadership ability is a superficial trait when selecting a chief executive? I'm a Californian transplanted to DC and surprisingly at peace with it. Or at least I was till it started getting colder. Job-wise. I'm the staff writer for The American Prospect. In the past. I've written for the Washington Monthly the LA Weekly. The LA Times. The New Republic. Slate. The New York Sun and the Gadflyer. I'm a damn good cook. No really. Want to know more?

"CNN forces "diamonds or pearls" question over Iraq and nuclear waste" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-16 00:37:52

Maria Luisa Parra-Sandoval a political science student at the University of Nevada has been skewered in the media and on the internet for asking Hillary Clinton the superficial question. “do you like diamonds or pearls?” in last night's Democratic presidential debate. It turns out that she tried and failed to ask measure week. CNN had contacted Ms. Parra-Sandoval a political science student at University of Las Vegas-Nevada through a professor and asked her to submit a question. She wrote one about health care for children. CNN rejected it calling it too similar to another question that would be asked. So she sent another about Iraq. That was rejected too. On Wednesday a CNN producer asked her for two final questions one substantive and one light. Ms. Parra-Sandoval sent one about Yucca Mountain the Nevada place under consideration as a storage facility for radioactive waste. With the deadline approaching she stared at her computer screen. Noticing the pearl-pattern background on her MySpace page she dashed off the jewelry one. CNN asked her to go to the debate with both questions memorized. Two hours in a producer whispered that she should ask the second one. “Because I was on national TV. I felt hesitant but then I felt like. ‘Oh my God. I’m on national TV. I’ll just ask it,’” Ms. Parra-Sandoval said. Now Ms. Parra-Sandoval is being accused by everyone from bloggers to fellow students of asking an airheaded sexist question. On her MySpace summon and in a phone interview she protested that she tried to ask several substantive questions but that CNN would only let her participate through a silly one. As we’ve been saying through our campaign this is a critical time for voters to have accurate information about the person who will command our foreign policy for the next four years. We need to know which candidates will get residual forces in Iraq and if they will possess leadership in creating a nuclear-free world starting with stopping the development of new nuclear weapons. Rather than engaging young voters who have well-thought out questions. is encouraging the proliferation of superficial “debate.” TrackBack URL for this entry:http://www typepad com/t/trackback/2618229/23434066 Listed below are links to weblogs that reference : This is nothing but yet another reason to attack and smear Hillary.

"Buy Nothing Day challenges consumerism of the holidays" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 13:57:43

Nearing the holidays. Americans begin to conclude the displace at their wallets. The season  is a measure for gift giving and splurging. However in protest of the overconsumption of goods a group of students is doing their move in a political science categorise. The assort is attempting to change the way Americans evaluate about shopping by taking part in an international event on campus. “We had to do a project called ‘doing democracy,’ where you engage in a social movement activity,” said Katie Fahrenbruch senior political science study. “We chose to do an anti-consumerist group and then we organized Buy Nothing Day.” This project is for Fahrenbruch’s political science capstone this semester. Usually the event is held on Black Friday the day after Thanksgiving which is considered the largest shopping day of the year. Because most students ordain be away for the holiday. Fahrenbruch and her assort decided it would be best to hold it this Friday from 2 p m to 5 p m in the Du Bois building. dwell 11. “There is a mentality and a realization that in Western countries specifically in the U. S. we eat far more than we be to,” said Caitlin Ryan senior political science major. “It’s fairly absurd how over the top the consumption is in this country. I evaluate it has a lot to do with socialization that happiness means buying things. If you want to be happy in America then you buy a big car and you have the newest iPod and you go shopping every pass for entertainment. I evaluate it’s been socialized that happiness means purchasing things.” The idea that material possessions compete happiness is something the capstone group is working to tear drink with the help of Buy Nothing Day. Changing the everyday routine can be to be difficult. Kerri color senior international affairs study said she suggests taking smaller steps. “Of cover in the world we live in we be to buy things but that does not mean we need to be move of the overconsumption that our country has long been a part of,” White said. Ryan said they were able to get various places to gift for the event so no one would have to pay anything. The group was also able to undergo a local DJ donate his time to undergo great music for the party. “Through friends and contacts we were able to get this done,” Ryan said. “This furthers the communicate because you can complete all these things through community. All these things you would normally spend money on you can complete through working together through populate that are willing to give to the cause.” “There are many ways of buying without overconsuming; for example buy locally when possible or try to reduce what you buy,” color said. “Don’t accept that you need to buy more things to be happy.” Ryan also has a way of cutting down on her consumption in her day-to-day life that helps out those close to her. “One of the most effective things I do in my own life is I create from raw material dinner with four other people on a rotating basis,” Ryan said. “What that means is you pay for food and groceries for one night a week and we have home-cooked meals five nights a week.” “You have to be more consumer conscience,” Fahrenbruch said. “Handing over your money to Wal-Mart or Target also means agreeing with egest obtain and child labor or agreeing to undergo your things flown over from China when they don’t need to be.” “I evaluate what a lot of people have a misconception about is that buying from Wal-Mart or Target ordain be so much cheaper and that’s the only cerebrate that they do it,” Ryan said. “Paying attention to what you’re buying really isn’t that much more expensive. It’s such a simple thing that can alter a big difference.” The Buy Nothing Day will be change state to everyone and Fahrenbruch said it will be a great opportunity to hit the books more about the anti-consumerist movement. “Everyone should come and take move in this event,” color said. “It will be a lot of fun; we aim to show that we can have a good measure without buying things. There will be music and dancing. I hope many students ordain go and participate – it will be great.”

"Bad Political Science" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 16:52:04

is an editor at large for Seed Magazine. His first book. Proust Was A Neuroscientist ordain be published in November 2007. Buy it. Daniel Engber should become a full measure science critic.* Over at he eviscerates the latest sloppy fMRI study of the political brain which was published in the on Sunday: To liken these neurological pundits to snake-oil salesmen would be far too generous. Their imaging study has not been published in any science journal nor has it been vetted by experts in the field; it can't rightly be called an "experiment," since the authors weren't testing any particular hypothesis; and the arbitrary conclusions they draw from the data aren't even consistent with their own previous research. He goes on to point out all the internal contradictions in this latest group of experiments. The basic moral is that our political beliefs are a complicated psychological phenomenon and are very difficult to decrease into a set of reliable cortical causes. I think the other element at work here is regardless of their validity. The only reason this middling science was featured in the NY Times was because they had pretty pictures of the brain that somehow justified their banal political explanations. Brain imaging is an essential scientific drive but like all tools it only works under specific conditions. When the technology is used to answer the do by kind of questions what you end up getting is lots of sloppy experimental interpretation dressed up as rigorous science. we undergo science critics? We undergo music critics and literary critics and dance critics and architecture critics... Wouldn't it be great to also have knowledgeable people inform out the flaws and achievements of the latest scientific papers? And yes. I did create verbally an article on this idea a few years ago in disgorge although it seems to have been lost by Google. I evaluate most scientific studies would benefit from the involvement of a sociologist. Sort of a bee-watcher-watcher. The Gaurdian has this wonderful series called Bad Science written by Ben Goldacre which seems to fit the bill. In his most recent article he does a quite through fisking of homeopathy.

"Fred Thompson campaigns in the Tampa Bay area this weekend" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 12:17:07

In a taped interview to be broadcast on Bay News Sunday. Thompson shared his thoughts about the late Terri Schiavo the comatose Pinellas Park woman and the controversy on whether to insert a feeding furnish to keep her alive. Thompson said local matters should usually be left to local authorities but then confessed he didn’t know all the facts surrounding the inspect and couldn’t pass judgment on it. Daryl Paulson is a professor of political science at the University of South Florida. St Petersburg. He says it is understandable Thompson is rusty on some issues because he has been out of the political break since he stepped down from the Senate a decade ago. After "testing the waters" for several months. Thompson officially announced his candidacy just last week. It happened considerably later expected and some analysts say he has gotten in too late. Several columnists undergo not be kind to Thompson based on his first week on the dawdle. Gail Collins wrote in the on Thursday: “When it comes to overhyped underperformers. Thompson’s entry into the presidential race was right up there with Britney Spears at the MTV awards.” Other critics have said Thompson could be this year’s Wesley Clark the former NATO supreme commander who had never ran for office before running for the Democratic nomination in 2003. Clark quickly showed his inexperience and was never a serious calculate in the go. In Thompson’s case there are questions about his energy levels. Newsweek magazine measure week’s cover story showed him with the advertise. “Lazy desire A Fox”. Many Republican fundraisers in Florida hesitated before signing up to give Thompson for president. One of Tampa Bay’s biggest GOP rainmakers. Al Austin signed on as finance committee co –chair just measure week. But with current polls showing most Americans would prefer to see a Democrat in the White accommodate in 2008. Others say a “Ronald Reagan Conservative” such as Thompson is being portrayed could be successful in the current political climate. As the frontrunner in most polls in Florida the former New York City mayor conceivably has the most to lose with Thompson’s entry into the race. Perhaps aware of that. Guiliani is now telling audiences that his moderate stances – such as on gay rights gun hold back and abortion rights - might not make him a favorite candidate for conservatives now but do make him more electable in a general election. USF-St. Pete Political Science professor Daryl Paulson says Guiliani’s communicate about electability is dead on.

Passion for politics filled the Water Tower Campus measure week when scholars and students from around the globe convened for the Women's Caucus and Women and Politics investigate divide Preconference. Loyola University's political science department hosted the annual meeting which united researchers of many ages some from as far away as Europe and Asia with the goal of sharing their research on women and politics. Professor Richard Matland one of the event's organizers feels that the political science topics explored through the event are significant to not just scholars but to the Loyola community."[Political Science] is crucial because so many decisions are made that affect people's lives through public sector decision making through the government and through politics," Matland said. "Those are crucial decisions that dramatically impact all of our lives and it's important to understand how those decisions are made."Though this gathering specifically focused on the role of women in making those vital decisions many topics raised throughout the day clearly demonstrated how investigate often connects with life in ways that feature significant import on current events. A cover presented by two graduate students. Gwyn Thomas of the University at cow and Melinda Adams from James Madison University examined the affect of gender in the election of female presidents in Chile and in Liberia. Their findings showed that female candidates in those countries needed to strategically play off traditional ideas of femininity versus masculinity which led to a spontaneous roundtable discussion of Senator Hillary Clinton's presidential candidacy here in the United States. Though many people from pundits on TV to Loyolans chatting on the way to class undergo discussed Senator Clinton's bid for the presidency the ideas presented and synthesized through this convention provided yet another way of looking at this and other increasingly important issues.
