One thing that I forgot to mention when I posted before about this: In the
U.S. at least, the issues are strongly linked. People's opinions on them are
strongly correlated. That's because an authoritarian is going to be
authoritarian on everything, typically.
So a 1-dimensional issue-space isn't a bad approximation. With that
reasonable approximation, the CW is the SU maximizer.
