Yeah, that chart is all sort of fugged up. Ron Paul would be at like the nearest bottom of the chart. And Hillary is right winged? Bleh.

That chart is ridiculous. The closest candidate to Ron Paul is Hillary Clinton.

That chart is all wrong. I didnt see anyone that was where they should be. However, they did do one thing right. They put Dr. Paul off by himself and that part is true since he stands along in wanting all of us to be free.

It's based on European politics, so because John Edwards et al aren't full-blown communists (and still have SOME concept -- however weak -- of personal property) means that they don't get into the "left" column.

I'm actually surprised Gravel got put way over in left field since, based on the little I've read of him, he seems to be one of the most fiscally conservative Dems running.

Exactly what I noticed.
