Who's the most liberal or conservative cardinal? It's a hard question to answer, but thanks to https://t.co/NncPX9MkQg, I was able to perform some ideal point estimation. The procedure was relatively simple. I took all positions tracked and coded them as 3 if the cardinal was in favor, 2 if they were ambiguous, 1 if opposed, and NA if we have no idea. I then removed cardinals who had fewer than 3 public positions. This data in hand, I ran a Bayesian Ordinal IRT model on the resultant cardinal-issue matrix. The results are attached, the longer version for all cardinals in the sample and the short version subsetting to only the "papabile." The results make sense---Zuppi, Parolin, and Tagle are among the most liberal; Sarah and Eijk are the only serious conservative contenders.

@daniel_mcdowell Her interview with @ezraklein was very informative.

The 2024 Presidential Election is nearly here. We've asked #DrewU faculty and staff to put it into perspective from their areas of expertise and research.

In my latest Substack, I analyze the #polls and explore why #Biden may not be able to remain in the race, if Democrats want to retain the presidency and expand their Congressional strength.

The New York Times published a video in its opinion section on Arab Americans views of #Biden in #Michigan. Featured voters noted they would not support Biden & could vote for #Trump.

I wrote about this in my newsletter in February:

One known unknown about a potential Harris candidacy is how well she would fare vs. Trump in the key swing states (AZ/GA/MI/NV/NC/PA/WI) relative to Biden

We have very little polling data on that, and most of what little data we do have is pretty dated (and obviously pre-debate)

Sonia Sotomayor wrote—“With fear for our democracy, I dissent.”

I have never seen this dire of language in a legal dissent before.

[Carlos L. Yordan @cyordan]

Here is a crazy idea: @JoeBiden should offer @realDonaldTrump a pardon on all federal charges. In exchange, #Trump agrees to stop his candidacy and #Biden also agrees to end his campaign. Both leaders would allow their delegates to select their party’s presidential nominees.

[Carlos L. Yordan @cyordan]

The debate provided both campaigns plenty of clips to push their narratives in future commercials.

But the images of Biden’s many of his foibles will only reinforce Americans fear that Biden is too old for a second term.

[Dalton Valette @daltonvalette]

Fact checking has to be a requirement for debates moving forward. Simple as that. #Debate

[Carlos L. Yordan @cyordan]

The @DNC has to have a serious conversation with @JoeBiden and his campaign. I would bet that this is the only debate in this cycle.

Again, Trump pushed a ton of lies but he was able to hit Biden hard on immigration and the economy - two critical issues.
