Well, it turns out I am a libertarian. Who'd have thought? I really like nearly all of what they say, but I think one of the big things holding me back is the lukewarm stance on the abortion issue. I would disagree with some stances on drug laws, as well, but that is an absolutely miniscule point, comparatively. Unfortunately for prolifers, republicanism is the only game in town. Which is unfortunate because I really like a lot of the things libertarianism stands for - much more so than the republican party. I could really get behind this group. I thought it was an interesting quiz. Maybe other people can try it and compare results?

I hate to rehash old news, but I just came across this today. Regardless of who anybody thinks should/would/could have won the election, this is an interesting map to look at, geopolitically. I was surprised both at the pervasiveness of the red counties as well as the location of some blue ones. Areas I thought were absolutely republican (north central South Dakota - I am somewhat familiar with that area) went blue, and areas that I thought were totally democratic (MN, OR, NY, etc) had surprising numbers of red counties. I am not making any claims here... just something interesting.
