I don't know how to answer your question without asking one. Given Palin, Huckabee, Bush, McCain, Clinton, Obama, Kucinich, from right to left that is how I would rank them. How would you rank them?

In addition I would say Bush, McCain and Clinton are more or less in the center. I have written many times that I thought McCain and Romney were far to "political" for my tastes and that they lacked conviction. I supported Huckabee and only decided to vote for McCain because of Palin otherwise I would have did a protest vote for the Libertarian. I call-out Republicans when I don't trust them. I trust (not agree with) Clinton and Kucinich If you have been reading my views you would know that, in fact in a race between Clinton and McCain, I would have voted for Clinton, I wrote that several times also.
