Hey! I found that PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE SELECTOR.

http://www.selectsmart.com/president/

My results:

1.  Your ideal theoretical candidate.   (100%)  
2.  Kucinich, Rep. Dennis, OH - Democrat   (77%)  
3.  Dean, Gov. Howard, VT - Democrat   (70%)
4.  Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat   (69%)  
5.  Edwards, Senator John, NC - Democrat   (68%)
6.  Clark, Retired General Wesley K., AR - Democrat   (63%)  Click here for info
7.  Gephardt, Rep. Dick, MO - Democrat   (63%)
8.  Sharpton, Reverend Al - Democrat   (61%)
9.  Lieberman, Senator Joe, CT - Democrat   (41%)
10.  Bush, President George W. - Republican   (31%)
11.  Libertarian Candidate   (21%)  
12.  Phillips, Howard - Constitution   (14%)

Well. I'm not Kucinich's man. I could support Dean, Clark,  Edwards or Gephardt. Nothing against Kerry also.

My views change when I move from Finland to USA. In Finland I favour to reducing taxes and goverment interventions. In Finland we have TOO MUCH transfer of incomes. I think that  goverment has responsibility to guarantee healthcare, education and minimum living. But in Finland social security is too openhanded which gives wrong signal particularly to young people and makes many working people unnecessarily  dependent on goverment's support.

In Finland I have always got conservative candidate by selectors.

Yep, all Scandinavians are Democrats, there would be very few Republicans here.

Wow, Miami.  I don't know if I'd go around admitting this to the public.  Sharpton?  Followed by Kucinich and Moseley Braun?

May I ask why you're supporting Edwards then as he's far from any of these three, in terms of politics?  I mean, if you don't agree with him, how could you vote for him....?  ...unless you're just a diehard Democrat, in which case you'd vote for a cow so long as it was a Democrat.

- i agree with sharpton more than Clark!

The interesting thing about your results and mine is that it suggests Clark is nearly the most liberal candidate running.  I'm waiting for someone to get the word out on that.

Well I took this test awhile ago there were once like 30 candidates on there and anyone who took the test would always agree with this liberal general the least(wasn't Clark I forget his name) kind of odd really.

1.  Your ideal theoretical candidate.   (100%)
2.  Bush, President George W. - Republican   (66%)
3.  Libertarian Candidate   (56%)
4.  Lieberman, Senator Joe, CT - Democrat   (43%)
5.  Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat   (37%)
6.  Kucinich, Rep. Dennis, OH - Democrat   (32%)
7.  Edwards, Senator John, NC - Democrat   (31%)
8.  Gephardt, Rep. Dick, MO - Democrat   (31%)
9.  Phillips, Howard - Constitution   (27%)
10.  Sharpton, Reverend Al - Democrat   (23%)
11.  Dean, Gov. Howard, VT - Democrat   (21%)  
12.  Clark, Retired General Wesley K., AR - Democrat   (9%)

I have one concern why in the world is Kucinich so dang high on my list thats crazy. And oddly according to another test I took my views are right in line with the Constitution party this says the opposite very interesting.

I would love to create one of these - won't likely have the time, however.  You can tell my political independence  from the selectsmart site:

Bush, Dean, Libertarian, and Green were between 46% and 54%.  nobody above 54%.

Just because I agree with them on the issues doesn't make me support them or feel that they would be good presidents.  Sharpton and Kucinich would be terrible presidents, but I agree with them on most issues.

I feel John edwards has the best chance of beating president Bush.
