House vote, Health Care, by ideal point

And one more look at last night’s vote, this time with each representative’s estimated ideal point (based on the entire 111th House thus far) as the predictor, similar to what I did for the Coburn amendment in the Senate.

  1. Any chance you can provide similar graphs for voting on the Stupak amendment, which passed along with the bill?

  3. I use R. The ideal function in my pscl package generates the ideal point estimates; the graphs use custom R code written by me.
