It's appears to be a lot less biased than the 2005 UK version that I wrote an analysis of back then, curious that both Abs and I both get negative scores for Hilary, it confirms that I am very opposed to her on the issues but I pretty much knew that already. Question is, are the issues selected and the weight given to them fair to each candidate? The problem with the previous version was the policies selected and the weight given them, made it very unlikely to get a Labour result. So is our mutual negative for Hilary because she's a really bad candidate with daft policies, or is it because her good policies aren't options? Any USians (especially Hilary fans) care to give it a go and tell me?
Bootnotes: might as well do the other two versions.

Meh, Ron Paul as the only positve, but by buggerall. Given he's a pretend libertarian, that sort of makes some sense.

Hmm, weird, Obama into first for that one, different weighting or maybe I clicked slightly different options. But then, I'm pretty much looking for Obama/Edwards anyway.
