Just for fun - Candidate Quiz

No surprise to me either. I already voted for Kucinich in the primary four years ago, but I've been leaning toward Edwards this year because I think he has the best chance in the general election. I do believe a Clinton/Obama ticket would be pretty strong.

Dennis Kucinich: 81%
Mike Gravel: 75%
Barack Obama: 69%
John Edwards: 63%
Hillary Clinton: 56%
Ron Paul: 38%
John McCain: 31%
Rudy Giuliani: 31%
Mike Huckabee: 25%
Mitt Romney: 19%
Fred Thompson: 13%

Now that Thompson is out, Romney will get his votes even if Thompson endorses his friend McCain. The momentum will build and pretty soon Hillary will be debating prince charming and getting her clock cleaned.

Wow, I've really slid to the left:

Dennis Kucinich: 75%
Hillary Clinton: 69%
Barack Obama: 63%
Mike Gravel: 56%
John Edwards: 50%
John McCain: 38%
Ron Paul: 38%
Rudy Giuliani: 38%
Mitt Romney: 31%
Mike Huckabee: 25%
Fred Thompson: 19%

The problem with the test is that the choices are not "good"/"bad", but more of a pick of what stinks the least. The problems of the country are complex. Simplistic fixes are short sighted and ultimately more harmful

Also, the test does not have us rate the relative importance we place on the issues.

I wanted to take a second stab and include that "who I agree with." Guess I like Hillary better then I thought. Mitt is still top of my list. But really, as noted by others, the approach is too simplistic. A number of choices needed to be expanded.

Mitt Romney: 75%
Hillary Clinton: 56%
Mike Huckabee: 50%
Rudy Giuliani: 44%
Fred Thompson: 38%
Barack Obama: 31%
John McCain: 31%

John Edwards: 25%
Ron Paul: 25%
Mike Gravel: 19%
