Comment on "Searching for Voters along the Liberal-Conservative Continuum"

A Reader's Reaction to:
Searching for Voters along the Liberal-Conservative Continuum: The Infrequent Ideologue and the Missing Middle by David E. RePass.

Abstract

The RePass article (The Forum, Vol. 6, Issue 2, 2008), continues the tradition of writers using the National Election Survey data of defining "ideology" as the answer to the liberal-conservative self-labeling question, and fails to consider the structure of substantive public policy attitudes and values as a necessary indicator of ideology.
