Friends in high places (2014, methodology): “We utilize the DW-Nominate measure of ideology, which is widely used in studies of Congressional roll-call voting (see Clinton, Jackman, and Rivers (2004), McCarty, Poole and Rosenthal (1997), McCarty, Poole and Rosenthal (2006), Poole and Rosenthal (1985), (1997), (2007)).”
