I'm goin' with extremist.

Tonight I was at the gym, and for some reason a kid a couple years my senior, a freshly-minted tax lawyer, said "I'm not voting for Bush, but I don't like the Democrats."

"Why?"

"Because they're too liberal."

I then asked him about his positions on a bunch of issues: other than violent crime and flag burning, he was very liberal. Against tax cuts, for gay marriage, pro-choice, against prayer in schools, for universalized healthcare... I had to break the news to him that he was more liberal than something like 2/3 of Dems. He was bummed.

Turns out, his only real model for conservatism vs. liberalism was Rudy Giuliani vs. David Dinkins. Go figure.
