As some of you know,
On The Issues rates candidates on a political spectrum. You can take the same quiz here:
http://www.ontheissues.org/quizeng/XPolitics/start.aspAnyway, I thought I'd post the results of each candidate, as they all seem different from the last time I checked it out.
NOTE: They change when a candidate changes his/her stance on an issue, or comes out on an issue that he/she hadn't come out on before.
