2008 Presidential Candidate Matching Quiz

I'm only surprised that Huckabee scored so low and Giuliani and Paul scored so high. I'm also surprised that Clinton scored so high. I would put her only slightly above Richardson. I think the quiz is biased toward social issues which I tend to care about less than economic ones.

I also got Mike Gravel as my top match when I took that test. Only 64% was the best they could do for me. kinda annoying, but that's what happens when you want people to be reasonable instead of either liberal or conservative in all things. and also I don't like very many politicians. I would run for president myself, except that it would make me miserable.

It depends on your definition of reasonable. I consider my politics reasonable.
Please don't run for president. Besides being under 35, I can't imagine you'd like fundraising enough.

You are most likely reasonable in your politics. What I meant was that my oppinions are reasonable but don't necessarily correlate with one another in terms of left v right.

And you are correct, fundraising would be awful. Actually, being president would be awful as well. So it's a no go. I'l just have to trust the job to someone I dislike less than our current leader.
