Not sure if you know about this yet, but I thought it was a neat site worth sharing.

I was 80% Obama, 74% Clinton.

edit: crap, I misspelled candidate

I got an 84% with Mike Gravel (who knew?), 81% with Obama, and 76% with Clinton.

Tie for Hillary and Gravel at 84%, with Obama at 76%.

McCain 40%, Huckabee 39%.

83% with Obama, 70% with Hillary and 63% with McCain. Interesting.

Figures. Ron Paul, but only at 70%. That makes sense. No candidate really fits me all that well, honestly. I'm fiscally conservative, socially liberal, with a mixed atttitude on isolationist versus interventionist philosophies.

Basically, I'm screwed.

Barack Obama 63% similarity
Hillary Clinton 53% similarity

But then I had a number of "neutral" selections too.

I've taken it before. Similar results. Gravel got some love, and Hillary and Obama were tied. That said, it has some flaws. Its not very clear about some things. Also: it doesn't take some issues into consideration that definitly sway how I would vote in an election.

I took this one before too and was matched with Guiliani at around 87%.

Since he has dropped, new results:
Ron Paul 71%
Huckabee 64%
McCain 51%

Voodoo - I laughed so hard I snorted!

So why did Gravel totally bite as a presidential candidate? He should have done better according to this survey. Oh yeah, thats right...he was crazy. Now I remember.

I remember there being another thread on this a couple weeks/months ago. I'm pretty sure my first match was Kucinich. This time it was Gravel, followed by Obama and then Clinton.

I think mine was originally Kucinich or Dodd, I can't remember which. Either way, because they aren't in the race anymore, they don't get counted in the quiz.

74% McCain (I was going to vote for him before Romney dropped out)
58% Clinton (What the f--- O.o)

I like Mike Gravel, but not as president. He made sense and was all about no-bullshit. I had hoped I was more in line with Obama, but the questions were sometimes too simple for the answers he gave.

I think it's absurd that they ask questions like "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is fair."

Since 99% of Americans have no idea what that phrase means.

Ron Paul: 69%

This all being said, there is no way in hell I'm voting for Huckabee and quiet frankly I'm not comfortable with any of the other candidates still in it. I probably like Obama the best but still...

Of course, no idea what that means, because I'm not American, and havent even heard of Mike Gravel. I dont know which party Ron Paul was affiliated with (but I know he dropped out).

I guess my answers were also what I would like to see America doing, not necessarily what I would want America to do were I American.

Ron Paul is a Republican, and he hasn't dropped out; however he has virtually no way to win.

73% Obama and 73% Clinton
66% Huckabee.

I'm actually not too terribly surprised, but on both Clinton and Obama there is one issue in which I'm listed as "very different" that would almost be a deal-breaker all around. At least I know to steer clear of McCain.

[Beep!] Hello, this is Barack Obama reminding you to come out and caucus for me on Sunday. Together we can bring hope and change to America. Thank you.

[Beep!] Hello, this is Hillary Clinton. If you agree that we need a new direction in America, please caucus for me on Sunday. I have the experience needed to hit the ground running on day one. Thank you.

[Beep!] Hi, Barack again. Did Hillary just call you? Look, she and I were friends before the primary season and we'll be friends after. But right now she's just acting crazy, understand? Vote for me and I may let you stand next to me at my inauguration.

[Beep!] Hillary here. Barack's feeding you a line 'o crap and he knows it. Not only will I let you stand next to me at my inauguration, but I'll give you the cabinet position of your choice. You have to admit, that's pretty sweet. Love ya!

[Beep!] Hey, it's Barack. Love ya more. Wanna be my VP?

[Beep!] Oh, he's not gonna make you vice president and he knows it!

[Beep!] Will too!

[Beep!] Will not!

[Beep!] This is Chelsea Clinton. Have you seen my mom or my dad? I'm supposed to be at a rally with 'em but there's no one here. Today's Nebraska, right?

[Beep!] Hi, this is Oprah. Despite what the Clinton campaign says, I am not going to crush your skull between my thighs if you don’t vote for my man Barack. That would let you off too easy! Hint hint.

[Beep!] Hi, Barack again. That wasn't Oprah. That was Hillary pretending to be Oprah. You see how these people work? I think it's... Oh, wait, it was Oprah. Never mind. Vote for me!

[Beep!] Hi, this is Chuck Norris. I'm hiding behind your bathroom door, and as soon as you come in to pee I'm gonna break every bone in your Defeatocrat body. I'll start with your femurs.

[Beep!] Hi, this is Mike Gravel. Chuck's hanging by his underwear from a hook on the back of your bathroom door. The police are on their way. Wish I could stay but I've gotta stop a meteor that's hurtling toward Earth. Have a nice pee.
