Haha. That was a horrible quiz. I came out supporting Gingrich, with Obama above Santorum. I think the main problem is that it only gives the candidates points if you select the exact answer rather than giving some for similar answers.

Paul 65.9
Perry 53.8
Huntsman 51.3

That's about right.  My issue with Perry was that he was an idiot, not generally on the substance(?) of his positions.

Jon Huntsman 60.1% (4/11)
Barack Obama 60.1% (6/11)
Rick Perry 44.6% (2/11)

Gingrich, Romney, and I can only agree that Global Warming exists.  Paul and I can only agree that Social Security is broken.  I have nothing in common with Bachmann or Santorum.  I guess this means I can't vote in the poll?

Obama/Huntsman/Paul.

Sounds about right, but some of the issues had bad choices.

Perry 38.4% (2/11)

Did Perry's position on Afghanistan really consist of reducing troops and focusing on intelligence gathering? Considering his position on Iraq, I can't see how this is possible (well, this is Rick Perry I'm talking about here, but still), and the quote they use as support for this supposed position isn't exactly absolute.

It was hard not to pick "none of the above" for almost every answer though.
