Liberty Maven

A few months ago we at Liberty Maven created The Paul-O-Meter where we rate the Presidential candidates on how closely they are to Ron Paul on the issues. We then opened up the rating system to readers. Since then we have added all sitting Senators and Congressmen to the system. Also, an option to submit candidates was added so that candidates currently running for office can be added. Now there are some new features that we are ready to unveil.

The Paul-O-Meter has moved to its own domain: Paul-O-Meter.com. A great new search feature was added to make finding candidates in the system extremely easy. Also each candidate now has his/her own Paul-O-Meter page for easy linking from other sites. For example here is Bob Barr’s Paul-O-Meter page.

What started as a humble little idea of rating the Presidential candidates in relation to Ron Paul became a full fledged rating system for any and all representatives and candidates for offices across America.

We aren’t finished with it yet. We have more features planned such as allowing each rater to give a reasoning for how each criterion is rated. We hope to make the Paul-O-Meter into something like OnTheIssues.org. In fact even if you despise Ron Paul the candidate ratings will give you great insight into each of the candidates positions. This will certainly be the case once we add the description feature.

We are also going to pick up with our own ratings again soon. In the meantime, check out the Paul-O-Meter for yourself. If you’d like a detailed description of the rating methodology please see this article.
