How is this a loaded question?  It seems perfectly fair to me.

Moderate Liberal, I guess.

b/c the inevitable fact that the parties will split w/in 20 years is denied by most.

That won't happen unless the system is altered significantly.  The electoral college's presence means that there will always be a two-party system.

In the national Presidential races. In Congress I could see a two and a half party system forming akin to Britain or Canada if a strong enough party develops. It could win around 15% of the seats or more possibly but never really have a chance to be anything but a balance of power party.

Hard Core Conservative, and that's how I pick candidates not based on political parties
