1. Yeah
I think you pretty much got it right. Though it seems to be primarily ranked in economic leftism rather than as a total package right? Huckabee has said some pretty ugly biggoted shit. Even notable for a Puke.

2. You think Giuliani (pro gay marriage, pro abortion) is MORE to the right of
(anti gay marriage, antiabortion, Keep Gitmo Open and Working) Romney?????

I dunno how you come to that conclusion, frankly. Giuliani is an asshole, but he's not to the right of Chickenhawk the Stormin' Mormon. Not by a long shot.

I won't even go into the rest of the field, but I will note that Huckabee is in Romney territory too--I'd hardly call changing the Constitution to reflect JEEEEEESUS's will as too terribly "centrist."

10. I just typed them in, not purposely putting them in any order. It just happened to
be the Democrats first.

3. Kucinich farthest left, then Hillary (even though people here won't admit it), then Edwards, then
then Paul, then Gullini, then Romney, then McCain, then Obama, then Thompson, then the Huckster.

4. I've seen it where Clinton and Obama were tied and Clinton more to the left.

5. For economic ideas, I think you are right.
For social issues the republicans are almost reversed, IMO.

Kucinich
Obama/Clinton (tied, I think)
Edwards
Giuliani
McCain
Romney
Paul
Thompson
Huckabee

I'm not sure where to place Paul, since he is radically anti-abortion, but liberal in other areas, so I stuck him in the middle.

6. ok.
Kucinich
Gravel
Edwards/Clinton
Obama

The Republicans are all too far right for me to judge from the left side of the world; they've dipped below the horizon. I can barely see Obama, Clinton, and Edwards from where I stand.
