Who should you support for US Prez '08?

[mckitterick]

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 roya_spirit for the link.

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

Ha! I wonder how you get lower than 0%?

Again, a Kucinich supporter. Tell me again: Why isn't he the front-runner of the Dems?

Hey in my fantasy world, I can make math work for me (like vet bills only cost $90 instead of $900). :-)

So the thing with Kucinich is that I haven't really considered myself a supporter of his, and I'm surprised at the match up between what I find important and what he finds important. I suspect this is true for others as well. Sure Kucinich is good for the Bill Maher cicuit, but the White House? (I'm not saying that's what I think, but I suspect it is what a lot of people think.)
