Fairly predictable results -among Republican candidates, I was closest to John McCain.  Among Democratic candidates, I was closest to Barack Obama.  And I was in what I deemed was the communitarian/populist quadrant.

     How does that work? Obama is the most socially liberal of the Democrats. That would be like me being closest to Thompson.

I was in the libertarian quadrant and agreed most with Giuliani, then McCain, then Paul. I agreed least with Obama.

I was in the Democratic quadrent and agreed most with Senator Barack Obama. Surprisingly, I was more so liberal then the Junior Senator himself! Former Senator John Edwards finished second, followed by Governor Bill Richardson, then Senator Hillary Clinton. With the Republicans turned on, Congressman Ron Paul was the closest Republican to my stances and former Senator Fred Thompson was further away from my stances.

I seem to be as socially liberal as Obama and more fiscally liberal.

Well to the left of all candidates. I trusted Bush the most (because I ranked him as extremely decisive).

Like most of these tests more context is required, viz. I don't oppose teaching creationism in science classes as long as the methods of how scientific proofs are achieved are.

I got my crayon next to Obama btw.

I apparently misread the results... Tongue

I am closest to Obama on the issues.

     I decided to update it. I moved somewhat to the right. I'm still closest to Ron Paul, though now I'm furthest from Obama instead of Thompson.

I was closest to the Democratic candidates, but to the right of them economically. The closest was Edwards the furthest was Thompson.

I am right between McCain and Obama, and was closest to that nutter Ron Paul, which is interesting. However, I was really not that close to anyone, and right in the middle of the map, as I went back and forth in my answers.

77% in agreement with Obama, though I am more economically left and progressive than him.

     I was slightly to the right of that economically, but yes, it really overemphasizes what issues it covers.
