    Default Re: Political alignment analysis

    Any body wants to try this again, there is a similar quiz at a site Xiahou linked to in the Fred Thomson thread:

    http://www.speakout.com/VoteMatch/qu...?quiz=Pres2008




    It is like the one used before, but the graph designer made up down (we'll shoot him later).

    I got "libertarian-leaning left-liberal", which sounds interesting:
    Personal Score 75%
    Economic Score 41%

    Closest US politician to my position is apparently John Kerry, which sounds about right.

    The site is quite informative on the US presidential candidates - as well as the charts, it has quite detailed information on their positions on a variety of issues. I did not realise Hilary (left liberal) is positioned so far to the right of her husband (moderate populist). I mean I had heard her beliefs were more liberal, but thought she was running on a more centrist platform. Maybe the site reflects her past statements more than current stance?
