Evan Miles and I are in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, after a 14-hour, 620-km bus trip from Managua to San Pedro Sula. We were fortunate enough to take the 'express' bus.

Waldo Jaquith: Republicans considering ?10 Congressional challenges.

June 11, 2009
The Hill?s Jeremy Jacobs on Tom Perriello vulnerability in November 2010 : Perriello?s district, warned James Madison University political scientist Bob Roberts, was gerrymandered so it would always be held by a Republican. ?There is no reason they wouldn?t take back this district,? he said.

Because, unless that quote is taken out of context, that shows a pretty significant failure of...

Waldo Jaquith: The legislature?s most prolific copatrons.

June 10, 2009
The more time that I spend mapping the social relationships of legislators via their copatroning habits, the more fascinated that I am by this mechanism of exploring the General Assembly. It really is a powerful tool. (To see one of the ways I?m using it on Richmond Sunlight now, check out HB1721 , SB1436 , or HB2482 , where you can see a graph indicating the average partisan position of each bill?s cosponsors.) Here?s a less thoughtful usage of this data, but no less interesting: a listi...

Waldo Jaquith: Analysis bears out notions of Republicans in the House and Senate

June 7, 2009
I crunched the numbers on the collective partisanship of Republican and Democrats in the Virginia House and Senate, and I think that the results are really interesting, insofar as they support the perception that House Republicans are much farther to the right than House Democrats are to the left and that Senate Republicans are closer to the center than Senate Democrats or either of the parties in the House. This was done by analyzing three different natures of copatroning relationships betwee...
