Electoral Compass USA - Which candidate fits best with you?

On Obama's left bicep (to the right looking at him). That was fun. It becomes even more interesting by toggling the checkboxes for issues that mean more to you. I noticed that I was close to all of the Democrats until I checked terrorism and national security, at which point Hillary fell out of the circle completely. Again, closes to Obama, further from Fred Thompson. Thanks for the link, nimh.

I was on Obama's left shoulder. Very interesting quiz - thanks nimh.

Edwards
Clinton
Obama
Paul
Giuliani
McCain
Romney
Huckabee
Thompson

Closest to McCain. On his head.

Furthest from Obama.





On the Law and Order issue, I landed on Thompson.

Ron Paul

Para libertad !!!!

No wonder I'm a little inconsistent this cycle...


And why is that moron so close to me?

Very interesting. Thanks Nimh.

Gun Control- I hit Mitt Romney between the eyes in the dead center.
Environment- Top left corner of the top left corner. Edwards, then Hill… and that's it.
Iraq- Just above Rudy and Huck, bottom middle
Economy- Somehow I hit Hill in the eye on the Left
Income- Right on the Right with the Right-McCain.
National Security- Between Romney and Huck. Center of lower Right quad.
Family- Stuck Obama right between the eyes. Social liberalism
Immigration- Over even Richardson's head, followed by Hill and Edwards with no Obama present. Huh?
Health Care-…Just left of center (no single payer solution, so this one's off) Strangely; Obama, Hillary are no nearer than paul and McCain… then Rudy… but there's no Edwards present? Very strange. I wonder if sometimes they don't get stuck under the others.
Law and Order- Bill Richardson with Huckabee nearby Left and Low
Education- Hit Obama right between the eyes at Social liberalism.-Progressive-slightly Right.
Terrorism- Right in the Center of all the Republicans, half way to Social conservatism-traditional.

Score 4 kill shots. 2-Obama, 1-Romney, 1-Clinton.
So, I lean a little Right/Conservative, but the Democrats got some heavy issues right. Sounds about right.

Nimh, did you notice who they considered the "Most Progressive Candidate"?

Hey, its a Dutch test :wink:

I doubt that with "Progressive", they were thinking of the historical Progressive movement as existed in the US... more like the global, general definition.

Closest to Obama, furthest from Huckabee. No surprise.

I screwed up I'm closest to Obama.

Course you are

nimh, Are you thinking what i'm thinking, and where did you get this test?

Heres a link from your test to my test.

Interesting

Closest to Romney --- Farthest from Obama

Closest Dem - Richardson

More socially liberal than all but Gulianni (I'm ignoring Paul entirely)

Economically just about on the mark with Romeny; to the right of McCain

Of all the Dems I like Obama the best, but I always knew his positions were well out of sync with mine.

I prefer McCain, but can vote for Romney or Guilliani without holding my nose.

EeK! closest to clinton! Furthest from Huckabee.

You need a survey of the views of people who don't do surveys, those buggers are the majority.

They just not as fascinated with their own thoughts as we are.

Nice test:
As an average, closest to Obama, farthest from Huckabee.

Closest to Richardson on immigration, national security, income & economy.
Closest to Clinton on Iraq & family.
Closest to Giuliani on gun control.
Closest to Obama on everything else but environment, where I think I may be a wee bit at the left of every candidate; and "law and order", where I find myself midway between the Dems and McCain.

Bit of a tangent this, but interesting!

Very interesting chart, nimh.

Notice how the democrats consider themselves and their candidates "moderate", while the republicans don't care about being placed near the right corner of the chart. Tells you about how "conservative" is a good name, and "liberal" a bad name in mainstream USA.

Notice, also, how republicans have Clinton & Obama "switched". Socialist Hillary... hillarious, but also telling about hard feelings during the (Bill) Clinton administration.
And notice how everybody puts GWB at the right of everyone else. This, truly, I don't get. Both Romney and Huckabee have been verbally to the right of Bush on their campaigns, but President Bush has actually been a right wing conservative.

Yeah, and interesting too is that everyone, including Republicans, see Huckabee as the most conservative of the presidential candidates.

This despite the barrage of attacks by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, and the Club for Growth, and his rivals in the race of course, making him out to be some kind of tax-raising economic socialist.

Perhaps an indication of how the "moral" (religious/secular) axis overrides the economic one in America when it comes to defining left and right...
