Let’s Get Ready to Tweet! An Analysis of Twitter Use by 2018 Senate Candidates
To what extent did the 2018 Senate candidates adapt their Twitter strategy to match electoral realities during the campaign? Previous literature on the political use of social media suggests that Twitter is a gauge of "word of mouth" popularity and can be seen as an indirect proxy for votes. As such, Senate candidates have an incentive to be strategic in their use of social media during the election season. Relying on the framework set forth by G…
Superdelegate Decision Making during the 2008 D emocratic Primaries
The race for superdelegate support during the extended competition between H illary C linton and B arack O bama for the 2008 D emocratic presidential nomination offers a unique opportunity to examine the behavior of party elites with regard to their party's rank and file. The choice and timing of superdelegates' endorsements were examined, as well as measures of superdelegate loyalty, enthusiasm, considerations of candidate viability, and strateg…
An Algorithm for Converting Ordinal Scale Measurement Data to Interval/Ratio Scale
The extensive use of survey instruments in the social sciences has long created debate and concern about validity of outcomes, especially among instruments that gather ordinal-level data. Ordinal-level survey measurement of concepts that could be measured at the interval or ratio level produce errors because respondents are forced to truncate or round off their responses to fit a given ordinal scale. This article presents a Markov chain Monte Car…
A Comparison of Three Approaches to Handling Incomplete State-Level Data
This article compares three approaches to handling missing data at the state level under three distinct conditions. Using Monte Carlo simulation experiments, I compare the results from a linear model using listwise deletion (LD), Markov Chain Monte Carlo with the Gibbs sampler algorithm (MCMC), and multiple imputation by chained equations (MICE) as approaches to dealing with different severity levels of missing data: missing completely at random …
Money Only Matters if You Want It To? Exposing the Normative Implications of Empirical Research
Political scientists have widely employed production function models as tools for theory confirmation and policy prescription. Although an important part of a growing literature within the discipline, production function research frequently produces contradictory results, an inconsistency that raises questions about the role of normative preferences in quantitative analysis. In this article we seek to explain the variation in the empirical result…
