		<description><![CDATA[Those who study Congress have engaged in long arguments about the importance (or lack thereof) of Congressional leaders in influencing outcomes. Among others, see Cox and McCubbins 1993 and 2005, Krehbiel 1993 and 1998, Binder 1996, and so on. But in a recent article published in SPPQ, Battista asks an important prior question: Do we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Consider why some bills can get through a legislature but others can&#8217;t. Perhaps (1) legislator preferences are all that matters; liberal legislators vote for liberal bills and against conservative ones. Perhaps (2) majority party cajoling also matters; if a strong majority leader can persuade his caucus to vote for a bill, it passes. Perhaps (3) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I wrote about Ansolabehere and Jones&#8217;s article in AJPS showing that voters really do hold members of Congress accountable for their voting record in Congress. On the very next page in AJPS, we find another article on the same theme. But Carson et al. want to change the way we think about this accountability. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shortly before the 2008 Congressional elections, only 36% believed that most members of Congress deserved reelection. These numbers were not unusual. Since consistent polling began in the 1970s, Congressional approval has rarely been higher than 40%. Nevertheless, 94% of U.S. House members won reelection.
