Cynical Nation

Well my top match was Obama at 87% so I guess I'm in good shape :)

Interesting distribution you got. You're kind of bunched a little above the middle. Mine went from 91% to 14%.

70% John McCain
64% Bill Richardson
63% Hillary Clinton
62% Barack Obama
62% Mitt Romney
60% Rudy Giuliani
58% John Edwards
58% Chris Dodd
56% Mike Huckabee
54% Ron Paul
52% Joe Biden
51% Dennis Kucinich
51% Mike Gravel
47% Fred Thompson
46% Tom Tancredo

You're so purple!

You're right. I'm slightly more blue:

96% Mike Gravel
95% Dennis Kucinich
82% John Edwards
78% Chris Dodd
78% Barack Obama
76% Joe Biden
73% Hillary Clinton
69% Bill Richardson
33% Rudy Giuliani
27% Ron Paul
24% John McCain
17% Mike Huckabee
17% Mitt Romney
15% Tom Tancredo
8% Fred Thompson

I actually hadn't realized that I was so very very blue, but...And I will say that some of the questions being in absolutes probably put me more in the blue than purple than I probably am.

At least we can all agree that Fred Thompson is lame.

Well, at this point, it almost seems like Thompson is thinking that himself. Is he even actively campaigning? I feel like his supporters are way more passionate than he is. That is not a good thing.

Most of these quizzes are pretty useless because the questions require binary responses, largely without any nuance.

Although this one probably came closest to my own political/ideological preferences;

Tom Tancredo 73%

Mitt Romney 68%

John McCain 67%

Fred Thompson 58%

Mike Huckabee 57%

Ron Paul 55%

Bill Richardson 53%

Hillary Clinton 52%

John Edwards 51%

Barack Obama 51%

Chris Dodd 51%

Rudy Giuliani 40%

Joe Biden 28%

Mike Gravel 21%

Dennis Kucinich 21%

Too many of the questions were too vague, in my view. For instance, I feel that the death penalty should be "available only in a narrow range of cases," (which is how I answered) BUT also feel very strongly that it should be made available for a wider aray of crimes - over a dozen states have OK'd Capital Punishment for repeat child molesters, and I support that. I also support the death penalty for treason (what Lynne Stewart, Adam Gadhane and John "Taliban Johnny" Walker-Lindt) are all guilty of.

There were far too many questions like that to really get an accurate picture of the respondents beliefs.

Barry -- I always figured you for a Dennis Kucinich over Joe Biden kind of guy despite your libertarian posturing. ;-)

My results surprised me at first until I realized that what I don't like about Mitt is his malleability on issues. I'm going to stick with Fred for the time being, but obviously it wouldn't kill me if McCain got the nomination.

>I always figured you for a Dennis Kucinich over Joe Biden kind of guy...

Well, me too.

Yeah, Romney was higher than expected on my chart too. This test clearly presumes that you can believe what Romney says. :-)
