Anyone else spot this? There isn't already a thread about this, is there?

http://www.vajoe.com/candidate_calculator.html

Never been one to criticize biased nature, but I have the feeling some of the questions were written by a conservative. For example, they specifically address the voucher system and no child left behind. Those are miniscule compared to the problems facing education today.

By the way, I stated I'd vote for Richardson and still intend to if he's anywhere on the ballot besides one of the Republican slots, of course. However, my match appears to be Edwards(85%+).

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Not a very big surprise..

My match is Mike Gravel (85.19%)

After that, Kucinich (81.48%) and then Ol' Bill Richardson on 59% - LOL at the difference (and I'd say that's somewhat accurate)

Of course it's not like I actually have a vote in this.

[Sensei]

I got Gravel... Now excuse me as I take a cold shower.

I got Ohio Representative Dennis Kucinich (D)89.58% match

Former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel (D) - 85.42%
Illinois Senator Barack Obama (D) - 83.33%
New York Senator Hillary Clinton (D) - 75.00%

Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards (D) - 75.00%
Delaware Senator Joseph Biden (D) - 70.83%
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson (D) - 66.67%
Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd (D) - 65.63%
Texas Representative Ron Paul (R) - 46.88%
Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson (R) - 46.88%

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (R) - 14.58%
Colorado Representative Tom Tancredo (R) - 14.58%
Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson (R) - 14.58%

Even if this allegedly composed by conservatives, over a fourth of respondents got either Mike Gravel (whom I would have preferred) or Dennis Kucinich. Of the top-tiers, I was starting to support Edwards, since Obama's health-care plan lacks teeth and his foreign policy proposals make him look foolish.

[Hash]

Hillary Clinton 76.74% match, Gravel and Kucinich second 69.77%. Dodd third

[opebo]

Denis Kucinich 93.1%

[Eraserhead]

I got Kucinich with Edwards in second.

I'll stick with Obama anyway thank you.

At least Romney, F. Thompson and Tancredo were in the "bottom of the barrel".

[Jake]

My top tier candidates:
*Bill Richardson with 64%
*Mike Huckabee with 62%
*Tom Tancredo with 60%

The rest:
*Sam Brownback (R) - 53%
*Mike Gravel (D) - 53%
*Barack Obama (D) - 53%
*John Edwards (D) - 48%
*Ron Paul (R) - 48%
*Joe Biden (D) - 47%
*Hillary Clinton with 46%
*Dennis Kucinich (D) - 46%
*Mitt Romney (R) - 45%
*Rudy Giuliani (R) - 38%
*Duncan Hunter (R) - 38%
*Chris Dodd (D) - 37%
*John McCain (R) - 36%
*Fred Thompson (R) - 34%

Not too bad. Huckabee is my top choice, Richardson is third after Hillary.

It apparently doesn't matter whether I put down that I am 'undecided' or that I support Hillary Clinton, as I am matched in both cases with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee on 73.3% of the issues, followed by Mitt Romney, Duncan Hunter, and John McCain, in descending order.

It seemed a pretty accurate quiz. I have only one lingering question, why didn't they compare me to Mike Gravel?! Maybe because the match was 0.00%.

For some strange reason, it doesn't give me a score for Obama.

[NDN]

I got Gravel as my #1 result. I actually like him, but this test is horribly skewed. There is no way in hell that Kucinich, Thompson, and Romney are all on my "top 5." Richardson, Obama, Biden, Paul and Gravel are (not necessarily in that order).

Dear God I must be some kind of lunatic to score Kucinich and Gravel as my top two, especially with that kind of agreement.  I'm also apparently supporting the Democrat with whom I agree the least on.    Otherwise this is pretty accurate ranking for me as far as the Democrats go.  All I'd have to do is move Kucinich and Gravel down between Dodd and Edwards and put Richardson at the top.
