-The '''political spectrum''' of contemporary U.S. politics places the base of [[liberal]]s such as [[Democrats]] on the [[left]] and the base of [[conservative]]s such as [[Republicans]] on the right.  When the American electorate is so evenly divided, as it has been for the last few election cycles, campaigns focus on persuading swing-voters in the middle of the political spectrum to cross over.

-Other political spectrums have been posed, dating back at least as far as the seating arrangements of the [[French National Assembly]] of 1789.
