This is interesting. Respond to the questions and weight them according to how important you feel each issue is. The results will show you which candidate for President is most in line with your views.

Another user posted a poll which showed your supposed political affiliation...this one simply ranks each candidate in order of their similarity to your views.

I was very surprised at my top result~

Chris Dodd (14.0 points)
Hillary Clinton 2nd
John Edwards 3rd

My top three were Tom Tancredo(8.0 points), Rudy Giuliani(7.0), and Mitt Romney(7.0). It's kinda weird though because even Hilary, who I can't stand, got 6.0 points. I guess there is no candidate that really matches my views.

Dennis Kuchinich - 26
Hillary Clinton - 24
Chris Dodd - 23

Hmm, I never would have thought Clinton would be up there for me either. But if her views mirror mine as closely as the site claims, I may not have as much of a problem with her getting the Democratic nomination...

Weird. I would have thought Ron Paul would have been higher on my list - he was a 7.0 on my list!

My top three:

Joe Biden (12)
Rudy Giuliani (12)
Hillary Clinton (10)

Figure that one out?! My guess is Joe Biden got the nod based on my view of Iraq - I do believe we should split it up into separate, regional governments.
