I just took the electoral compass USA test and came out closest to John Edwards. Urgh. I have to admit I can’t stand Edwards (commenting here about his poor showing in the Democratic Caucus in Nevada this weekend, which pretty much ensures his imminent departure from the presidential race).
It’s not so much what Edwards says but the way he says it. There’s something about the permagrin, the pinched lips, the perfect teeth and the now famous haircut. I would rather have been closer to any of the other Democratic candidates.
The only comfort I can take is the fact that the electoral compass places Edwards somewhere between Clinton and Obama, which I suppose is the general position I’d take if I was a passport-carrying citizen of the USA, like a certain British turncoat.

I took it out of interest even though I’m English and live in Emgland! I cam out closest to Barak Obama and furthest from Fred Thompeon (I thank goodness it wasn’t the other way round!)
I came out closest to Edwards as well but there is no way I will be voting for a man who (IMO) comes across as a 50-year old frat boy. I checked my responses against Obama’s (whom I support after the SC debate) and am satisfied that we are sufficiently close in our stances on things.
