To me the list did measure the range of POVs of those voted on.

John and Daughter got ranked where they were because of their points of view.

This was also a closed vote - only those that were sent the list got to vote.

If it was open the Ron-bots would have spammed it and he would be most loved with everyone else at the bottom.


I should have quoted cbtengr's post, specifically the comment about "marketing" and added the following links.

What I have in mind is to "market" American conservationism in such a way that Americans who have had their fill of leftist policies and polarizing rhetoric can readily see the ideological range of the American political right.

To me, a "score card" approach may enable conservatives to avoid racial and gender politics because, as a nation, we're not where we need to be to have a discussion about race or gender that doesn't quickly degenerate into finger pointing, scapegoating, and brawling.
