So where do they get their information from?
Via the Washington Monthly. There’s a very interesting chart the Pew Research Center. It shows how candidates are rated on the ideological spectrum by Democrats and Republicans.

What’s interesting is that Democrats don’t see Republican candidates as any more conservative than Republicans do. In other words, Democrats don’t rank Bush to the right of Ghengis Khan. They rate Bush no more conservative than Republican’s rate Bush. Yet the Republican’s put Clinton so far left that she’s probably sharing the neighborhood with Castro and Lenin. Democrats actually have her as more conservative than Obama and closer to the moderates than any of the candidates from either party. So you’ve got to wonder who has a better grasp on the actual differences between the candidates? And what is it about Clinton that causes Republicans to lose all sense of perspective?
Could it be that more Democrats get their news from the “liberal” media while more Republicans get it from Fox? So which news outlet do you think is presenting the more biased information?
