That actually works quite well - I chose "undecided" to see what it came up with and it told me Rudy G. Well, I've been thinking for quite a while now that he's the least of the evils.

Vader, I see what you are saying that's one reason I posted this. I was interested in the outcome of putting in ones beliefs/opinions and seeing who agreed with you without all of the made for TV flair.

You are a good American.

We should unite the parties and convert all the D's to R's.

R=Right, D=Delusional

I ran through the calculator 3 times changing some highs to lows and flipping from 'yes' to 'no' on a few.

Kucinich came out on top each time 86% - 74%.
The highest ranking Republican was Paul, he got 65% once.

I bookmarked the calculator and will run through it next year when a few of the names will actually be on the ballot.
Thanks for the link.

On my first pass, Tancredo edged out Romney, followed by Thompson and Huckabee.

I suspect if I fine tune/rethink my answers and weighting, Romney and Huckabee would be at the top.

It is interesting that some of the candidates who are scoring very well have so little public and media recognition. It looks like many Dems agree on policy with some un-electable dude from Alaska that nobody has every heard of. I suspect he is more centrist than the media's preferred top tier Dem candidates such as Obama and Clinton.

When I select the exact opposite of my view, the list looks just like Odin's.
