So the Mizzle sent me a link to one of these candidate selector things. It's actually kind of interesting to dick around with, and figure out which candidate cares the most about the things you care about. Obviously it's limited in the sense that there are more issues with this presidency than can be covered in a 25-question survey (there's even one about slavery reparations, which I found strangely hilarious), but my patience and attention are at a premium. Here are my results, in case you give a damn:
1. Theoretical Ideal Candidate (100%)
2. Barack Obama (77%)
3. Christopher Dodd (withdrawn) (77%)
4. Ron Paul (72%)
5. Dennis Kucinich (71%)
6. Al Gore (not announced) (68%)
7. Alan Augustson (campaign suspended) (65%)
8. Wesley Clark (not running, endorsed Clinton) (65%)
9. Mike Gravel (63%)
10. John Edwards (62%)
11. Michael Bloomberg (says he will not run) (62%)
12. Hillary Clinton (61%)
13. Kent McManigal (campaign suspended) (59%)
14. Bill Richardson (57%)
15. Joseph Biden (withdrawn) (56%)
16. Elaine Brown (38%)
17. Rudolph Giuliani (37%)
18. Tommy Thompson (withdrawn, endorsed Giuliani) (37%)
19. Chuck Hagel (not running) (36%)
20. John McCain (35%)
