The problem was, that I think that the survey was basically flawed. The questions were too general, and often I had to choose the "least worst" answer.

For instance, there was one about the war, where the choices were to either pull out, or "stay the course". I think that we need to have a presence in the area, but the way that the war is being run in Iraq is inappropriate to the type of fighting that is going on. There was no way that I could get that idea across.

The chart of the candidates' basic stances on things may be helpful.

BBB's
The questions and the way they were posed was frustrating and make it difficult to identify a match.

Interesting how far up Kucinich is.

I like a lot of things about the guy. He has a fabulous website, lays out his positions really clearly and I like a lot of his positions.

Wow. Look at all those Obama people.

What the hell is Hillary doing higher than Obama, let alone McCain? I'm thinking the pollster hasn't kept up with her ongoing metamorphosis into Jane Fonda.

I guess it shows the A2K political pundits are lefties :wink:

Occam Bill turns out to be the biggest Hillary fan! Who would of thunk?

I am shocked that Giuliani is down so low on my list.
