About 20 issues, you pick YES, NO, UNSURE, and then rate as HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW. The results have shocked a couple of friends as to whom they REALLY support!

My answers matched my pick with over a 95% rating.

Thanks for the linkage. I'll be sending that to some co-workers.

I was surprised to an extent...same political party, and the particular person I DO support, so it's pretty good! Cool! Thanks for the link!

(Oh, and like Shaun, I plan on sending this to a few people...)

Hi...
I was slightly surprised to find my top candidate was Duncan Hunter...I would have expected Tom Tancredo, Mike Huckabee or Fred Thompson. I found it interesting that every Republican was a better fit than any Democrat...but, hey, I'm a pretty hard-line conservative, so, no real surprise.

I got Duncan Hunter too. Never heard of him before either. also Giulliani was the next top contender. I had originally planned on voting for him if he gets the nomination.

I did this already but what a surprise! I really felt like I'd favor one person and then BAM! I found that I more closely agree with another. I still always feel as if I'm settling for the lesser of about 20 evils!
