A couple days ago, I posted this new article on United Liberty.
This ties into the research I am doing on House voting records. My analysis is not far enough along for any articles to come of it; however, one thing is abundantly clear. For the most part, our representatives vote along party lines. This probably does not come as much of a surprise. In 2007, Democrats generally voted together 90% of the time; Republicans voted together about 85% of the time. What might be surprising is that Republicans and Democrats voted together almost 45% of the time.
What does this all mean? Well, further analysis is required to answer that question. I'm inclined to think that this does mean that, overall, there is not a lot of differentiation on positions when it comes down to it.
