The University of Amsterdam and a couple of Dutch newspapers made a compass for the upcoming presidential election.

 

Looks like Bill Richardson is my man:

I'm nearly as close to both Obama and Hillary as I am to Edwards, though. Interestingly, I'm 13% more traditional than Obama. He's the only candidate more progressive than me, it seems.

I'm such a commie.

[quarter23cd]

That's pretty weak that two whole regions of the grid are sadly unrepresented. C'mon, somebody's gotta show some love to the lower-left and upper-right.

 

My results tell me I'm an Obama man, although I have an equal "substantive agreement" with Edwards and Richardson, as well. So much for being decisive.

Barack Obama

You are as economic right as economic left

You are 3% more progressive

You have a substantive agreement of 79%
