Who should you support for US Prez '08?

To find out, take this quiz. It's very well-designed, matching the issues you care about to candidates. Each issue has a link to more information; you select whether or not you support each issue (or choose Unsure), then rate them High / Medium / Low in importance. You also get to select who you're planning to vote for; I did not do that, because, well, who knows at this point? At the end, viola! Here's your perfect candidate.

My top match (of course, because I never match a winner):
Ohio Representative Dennis Kucinich (D) - 93.10% match

Others, in order of maching-ness:
Former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel (D) - 84.48%
Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards (D) - 72.41%
New York Senator Hillary Clinton (D) - 68.97%
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson (D) - 67.24%
Delaware Senator Joseph Biden (D) - 65.52%
Illinois Senator Barack Obama (D) - 65.52%
Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd (D) - 62.07%
Texas Representative Ron Paul (R) - 41.38%
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) - 31.03%
Arizona Senator John McCain (R) - 24.14%
Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson (R) - 22.41%
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (R) - 20.69%
Businessman John Cox (R) - 13.79%

"Bottom of the barrel," as they say:
Colorado Representative Tom Tancredo (R) - 13.79%
Kansas Senator Sam Brownback (R) - 3.45%
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (R) - 2.59%
California Representative Duncan Hunter (R) - 0.00%

I don't think I've ever had a purely 0% match before. Golly. Hunter must be pure spawn of the devil.

Who's your match? Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] roya_spirit for the link.

Arrrrr, matey! (almost forgot to add that in honor of today's the day)

The list isn't accurate, as it doesn't have the name of the next president of the United States on it:

KEYES '08, BITCHES!

I found some of the questions a bit disingenuous. I support the existance of a military base at Gitmo, but I don't support the use of the base as a prison camp. I don't support an assault weapon ban, as I own an assault weapon; however, I believe that there should be stringent checks (should've taken a month, not an hour, for my background check) and that there should be a public list of firearm owners available online and at police stations showing who's packing what and where they live. I believe in free trade, but I think there should be controls on it.

I find it interesting that free trade and assault weapons were enough to toss a few of the Rs into my middle of the path. I'll definitely have to watch this Mike Gravel fellow.

Yeah, you go ahead and support Keyes. Oh, wait; I only want Republicans to support him, because that way we can be sure not to get another Repub in office. Heh.

I hear you about the questions, which is why I like that you can customize it so much: Rank something Low if it doesn't fit quite right.
