I was surprised that the highest rated candidate, with 85% was Al Sharpton. I was not surprised to learn that the current president matched a whopping 5% of my criteria.

Wow. I took the test, and I found the descriptions of the candidates to be "informative." They were definitely biased. I read George Bush's description and then Al Sharpton's biography. You can tell the creator of the site is/was a democrat.

The neat thing about that website is that you can make one of those too. If you found the one above to be biased, how about creating one that isn't?

Maybe I would make my own, Ladymacb, if only I were technology proficient. Alas, I must remain sad and disillusioned while doing absolutely nothing about it.

PS- obviously, my preferred candidate is Bush with a 75% rating. Interestingly enough, Libertarian was next and then John Kerry, my least favorite democrat.

I hadn't realised that Steve McQueen was running for president, isn't he dead?

Oh, and at 68%, Kucinich, Rep. Dennis, OH - Democrat - never heard of him.

I already knew who I was voting for, that site just confirmed it. Dean is my first choice, anyone but Bush is my second choice.

Bush, President George W. - Republican (85%)
3. Libertarian Candidate (49%)
4. Kucinich, Rep. Dennis, OH - Democrat (44%)
5. Lieberman, Senator Joe, CT - Democrat (36%)

While I was sure that Bush would be on top considering the competition, I question the percentile. Bush is not my kind of Republican since to me he is more of a free-spending Democrat in Republican clothes. I'm also closer to Libertarian positions than this survey indicates.
