No offense, GeorgiaDawg!
My score on the “political compass” quiz was:
Economic Left/Right: 4.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.03
Center/right, very slightly authoritarian.
I diagreed with the wording on many of those questions, too. Some of them needed a “WTF?” option.

Below are a couple of plots from that site. Kucinich libertarian? Huh? Edwards, Obama, and Clinton right of center? I don't think so. Those three plus Kucinich solidly belong in the upper left quadrant. That site needs recalibration.
Week before last, Barron's cover story was an Investors' Guide to the Candidates [pdf]. They put Romney first with a score of 3.8, followed by Giuliani with 3.7, and McCain with 3.5. As for the Donks, they ranked Richardson first with 3.0. Then it was down hill ... the Magic Negro and the Hildebeest were close, at 2.0 and 1.8 respectively. The Silky Pony ranked dead last at 1.5.
