This is one of the better one's I've found - VERY accurate for me anyway.

[Erc]

Somehow, I got Huckabee.

Followed by Thompson, Tancredo, and Romney.

urgh.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

I managed to somehow get Congressman Dennis Kucinich.

My other top four choices were; Former Senator Mike Gravel, Senator Barack Obama, Senator Hillary Clinton and Former Senator Johnny Reid Edwards.

I have taken this quiz twice this week and they've said my two perfect candidates are Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich. WTF?

[Flying Dog]

I got Obama!

then biden, dodd, and gravel.

[Mr. Morden]

I got Paul as my top match.  Of the main contenders, the order from top to bottom was:

McCain
Thompson
Romney
Huckabee
Giuliani
Clinton
Edwards
Obama

[Frodo]

My top candidates are apparently Rudy Giuliani and Mike Huckabee, with both of whom I match up on 83.3% of all issues.

In second place, I match up with both Bill Richardson and Mitt Romney on 77.8% of all issues.

And here are the rest, in descending order:

Fred Thompson: 72.2%
Hillary Clinton: 66.7%
Chris Dodd: 66.7%
John Edwards: 66.7%
John McCain: 66.7%
Barack Obama: 66.7%
Joseph Biden: 61.1%
Sam Brownback: 61.1%
Duncan Hunter: 61.1%
Tom Tancredo: 61.1%

And those that rank at the bottom:

John Cox: 55.6%
Mike Gravel: 50%
Dennis Kucinich: 50%
Ron Paul: 33.3%

[Verily]

Main contenders:

Obama
Clinton
Giuliani
McCain
Edwards
Thompson
Huckabee
Romney

Richardson and Paul were both ahead of Obama.

[TomC]

I got Gravel, Biden, Kucinich. Interesting that Ron Paul was higher for me than Clinton.

I answered no to the Iraq war - but this kinda throws it off - I think we shouldn't have gone, but now that we're there, we need to stay some.  We need to move to the border and let the Iraqi's take over.

[Padfoot]

As usual with these surveys the Democratic crazies top my list immediately followed by the ones with no chance in hell of getting the nomination.    This is an accurate portrayal of my ranking of the top three Democrats.  It's got my Republican preferences mixed up though.  McCain would be my first choice after Paul, followed by Giuliani, and then Huckabee.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I got 100% match with Romney, but I dont support him. John Cox finished second, whoever that is, and Rudy was third. Kucinich and I had almost nothing in common.

Yeah - I'd never heard of him either.

This test is a failure.

[Nutmeg]

Gravel at 85%.   He was also the most-matched candidate on the whole site.  Rigged?

[angus]

My top candidates were Ron Paul (75% match) and Mike Gravel (75% match).

The "bottom of the barrel" consisted of these four:  Hunter (41%), McCain (41%), Romney (38%), and Clinton (33%).

Not too far off the mark, since Paul is my favorite, by far, and Clinton is my least favorite.  I have to admit that I was surprised that Gravel and I are so close, ideologically.  Also, apparently I'm equal parts Brownback and Kucinich, since both came in at a respectable 62.5% match.  That was also surprising to me.  But I do like surprises once in a while.

Also, it was short.  I like that since I have a relatively short attention span.  Overall, I liked the quiz.

[ilikeverin]

It's not working for me.

[minionofmidas]

We had a thread on this one before.

[minionofmidas]

No, coz I replied in t'other one.

[Lief 🗽]

Kucinich
Clinton
Gravel

Er... no.
