Unsurprisingly, I was almost dead on Ron Paul.

Bill Richardson
27 Economic right
3% more traditional
agreement of 65%

Then came ron paul, but the pretty graph shows me in the damn middle of everyone with no candidate spot on

I came up John Edwards, of all people. The way some of the questions were worded leaves a bit to be desired though, I spotted several that could be interpreted widely.

I was really close to Greystone just a little more left.

Closest was Bill Richardson but he was bunched will Edwards and Hillary. Closest Republican was Paul, and he was pretty darn close. The farthest, the evil Fred Thompson :') ...but all of the Repubs other than Paul were almost off the map.

For Environment I matched with Obama, but I matched Fred Thompson 100% for Law & Order.

Social Liberal-Progressive. Obama is my man!!!!

My only disagreements with him are on gun control...I believe that if you control your aim and trigger pull....

Closest to Ron Paul which surprised me and furtherest from Fred Thompson. Edwards was next closest.

I was closest to Richardson. Was also close obviously to Clinton and Edwards. Was the furthest from Thompson.

By design I think its impossible to pick Thompson. I've tried answering questions all sorts of different ways. There's a huge bias in how it picks who you're closest to, most people landing in the middle of the compass.

I landed to the right of Thompson and a bit below Huckabee (but above Thompson).

I figured you and Fanny would be right there with me and General Scott.
