Based on having the guy as Governor, I'd say you should make absolutely no assumptions about what he believes or what he is capable of. He is an ungrounded opportunist, which can be a very dangerous guy to have in the White House.
I thought the [Bill] Clinton years were generally regarded as a swell ol' time

Apparently I'm closest to John Edwards and farthest from Fred Thompson. I'm southeast of Obama and east or slightly northeast of the other Dems. Some of the questions are hard to answer, and tweaking my answers a bit might change things a lot. My brother, whose views are pretty similar to mine, says he's on the right side of the y axis, while I'm on the left side.
Closest to Barrak Obama, furthest from Fred Thompson. I assume that's because Tancredo is out.

I'm in the same quadrant (upper left) as all the other Dems, though I'm a little closer to the y axis, and a little further to the north.

It says closest to Edwards and furthest from Thompson. I don't buy that. I am just to the right of the Y-Axis, mid-altitude (upper right quadrant).

Social Progressive, Economic Conservative (barely) -- in other words, the empty quadrant -- for purposes of these primaries. If candidates would say what they really thought, I think Giuliani would be up in this quadrant.

doesn't that "lack" apply to every single Dem candidate?

Well, Giuliani has avoided saying much at all lately. Perhaps he's hoping to win the primaries without doing so. Or lose them without doing so.

You and I seem to be in the same spot. I am northeast of Barrak. More east than north, but generally northeast and in the same quadrant.

Are you one of those people who think that New Mexico isn't part of the United States?

just becasue you've redefined what "those people" means from, say, what the KKK or Nazis mean, does not make the phrase less hurtful.

*sniff* In my heart of hearts, I was really a Bill Richardson supporter, though I knew he was an unbelievable long shot. With the exception of immediate withdrawal, I tended to agree with him on everything, and I thought he had the best, broadest experience of any candidate running, Democratic or Republican.

I'm sorta hoping that he'll stick around in some capacity, maybe VP if Hillary and Barrak manage to piss each other off too much, because his experience would be damned useful in running the country.

Speaking of which, I think you owe a big apology to the people of New Mexico, some of whom are pictured here:

failed Dem VP candidate is really not proving to be a stepping stone to much. One isn't even a dem anymore.

Hypothesis: New Mexican women are much better looking than the men there. Corrollary: the women are okay looking but all men are fugly.

I think you now owe a big apology to all New Mexicans, and another one to half of the state.
