The Electoral Compass

Bainbridge had fun with it. I did too. I come out close to the center in the upper right quadrant – high on the economic center-right and socially "progressive". Yes: Ron Paul’s the candidate closest to my positions. Giuliani is next. Then McCain. And then the others – Democrat and Republican. Fred Thompson is the furthest from my spot. Obama is about as far away from me as Huckabee is. Which proves Dan Drezner right, I guess. Character counts. Dan and me came out pretty much the same. I’m not a lefty. I just can’t stand most of these Republicans. And my favorite had some vile racists and bigots as his allies.
