DLC I suppose, but a little more Keynesian.

No, I won't clarify that.

I have some Progressive views in me, such as universal health care, campaign finance reform, fair trade, just to name a few, but my social views are those that the Blue Dogs generally support.  I voted Blue Dog, though more accurately it would a mixture Progressive, Blue Dog, and DLC.  I don't think I have any Libertarian views in me, so that pretty much takes the DFC off the table.

Yeah, it was a joke. But since your E score is at 2.32, it's time to join the UAC, correct?

I'm too liberal on economics to be a Blue Dog, but too conservative on social issues and foreign policy to be a Progressive.  I'm a Democrat without a caucus  Cry

Don't worry, I'm in the same boat.  Socially, our scores are more Republican-like than Democratic-like.  Economically, our scores are quite progressive.

Ehh, there could be more hybrids if you think about it.

As for me I would say socially I'm definitely Progressive Caucus, but economically I lean a bit more to the center favoring some free trade and welfare reform.  From looking at Congresspersons scores i'd say I'd be closest to Diana DeGette (who's kinda cute for her age btw) or Joe Sestak.

Dude, your econ score is -5.35, but you revere Ronald Reagan. Either there's something wrong with you or with the test. Or both.

There's been some odd ones on here.  There was one dude who was a Democrat with a Social +1, Econ +6.  I think his name was Casey Reece.  A -5.35 likling Reagan is an anomaly, but maybe it's because of foreign policy which I feel could have happened in both cases.  The PM doesn't test that too much.  I very pro-union with a Econ score of -1.03, but I think the fiscal conservative/deficit hawk and yeah Accountant in me puts me a bit to the center.  Go figure.
