Candidate Matrix. Really good interactive tool to compare the candidates
Plus so far there only seems to be 3 people who have done it and one was me and I didn't finish. Anyway the other 2 were right winged things who don't give a shit about other people's health care.

3. Lots of people have taken it (480,000+ total ratings)
But I'm finding the total results to be a bit scary... :scared:

6. Interesting Matrix
I noticed that for all the ratings, Bill Richardson had the most approved policy stances. He had positive ratings on everything except immigration where he had a neutral rating.

I agree with Wyldwolf, that this isn't an accurate account of the candidate's current positions. They said under Richardson's economic policy that he supports eliminating the Alternative Minimum Tax but he clearly states in his economic proposal that he wants to eliminate it only for middle class workers. That would mean raising the income level for the tax and indexing it to some measure of inflation.
