We are gratified that Prof. Bennett has now read the full Task Forceon Inequality and American Democracy report that he critiqued in theJanuary 2006 issue of PS, but we find his responsepuzzling. He characterizes our report as “illustrative of manypolitical scientists' left-wing tilt” and buttresses his assertion,not by analyzing the report itself, but by referring to studies ofthe political leanings of college faculty. Clearly, the test of ourheavily annotated work—the bottom line of which is that “there areno easy conclusions when it comes to changing inequality ofpolitical voice” (APSA Task Force 2004, 35)—is whether we have beenfaithful to the relevant scholarly research. Since Bennett providesno evidence to the contrary, we leave it to the reader to decide whois driven by ideological, rather than scholarly, concern.
