If you want to see how Forbes ranks the GOP 'compassionate conservatives', take a look! |

so they are rating the candidates by their 'viewpoint' of the moment? Why don't they map into actions, for example Romney wouldn't look very red if you actually examined his performance in office. Likewise Guiliani.

That's what prompted the comment. Their left and my left are two different places, eh?

6. Gotcha, I'm off the scale, too |
|
and find the leftmost part of the Forbes scale to be smack dab in the middle.

3. I was really confused by the ratings system at first... |
|
First I saw thompson and McCain.... figured their ratings were how many minutes out of every hour they required as naptime.
Then I got further down in the chart and hit Rommney and Giuliani. Their numbers had to be how many times a day various right wing religous organizations scream to their gods about abandonment issues.
You get to tancredo and you realize it might just be an IQ test and he certainly didn't lose any sleep last night.
And finally you get down to huckabee... I'm sorry.... huckabee is like smuckers you just can't fully take that one seriously. His rating is how many times per MINUTE someone is going to mis prounounce his name to comic effect pure and simple.
