Here is a link that is a little quiz to see who you best align. I matched to Kerry 100%, and to Bush 27%--LOL.

I did this one a few weeks back. I also matched Kerry 100% and Bush was on the very bottom of my list at about 9% I think.

Sharpton Score: 93%
Kerry Score: 92%
Dean Score: 85%

Oh, I forgot to mention--at the end when they ask if you want a party indicated, by indicating none, you get a list of who you match up to regardless of party.

I didn't pick a party, and I didn't care if they had been in the military or elected to an office before.

I matched up 100% with Kerry and 93% with Clark. I had Bush at 53%. Very interesting....

Holy crap - I took this test with the most honest answers I could provide from my personal point of view, not at all designed to pander to the Republican party line (which, I don't even know what it is on some of those questions). Here are my results:

Bush - 100%
Edwards - 76%
Kerry - 70%
Dean - 63%
Clark - 57%
Sharpton - 49%
Kucinich - 49%

By the way, I voted AGAINST a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage in this poll, and FOR civil unions (it didn't ask about favor/don't favor gay marriage - just about the amendment). I also voted against appointing judges who would outlaw abortion. I'm surprised about Edwards coming in second - if Lieberman were still in the running, I would expect him to take second place on my ratings. PS I didn't pick a party, either.

Wow, Landi. I didn't think it was possible to ever have Bush withing the same 25% match range as every one of the other ones on the list. Interesting.

i didn't either. i was kinda shocked, till i did the thingie where you compare all the candidates. and you see what was where. i'm a democrat, and have always considered myself pretty liberal. but there are some things as i've gotten older that are more conservative in nature.

now what really scares me is my mother was a little "haight-ashbury" in the 60's and turned into a mercedes driving republican that voted for regan. I DO NOT WANT TO TURN INTO MY MOTHER!

Wow -- I scored 100% Kerry too. This sort of surprises me.

It was a tie for second -- Kucinich/Sharpton (!)

My Bush score was 13%.

Looks like Landi, Mamie and I are the only two with all 7 candidates matching us higher than 50%

Bush: 100%
Edwards 99%
Kerry 93%
Clark 87%
Dean 80%
Sharpton 72%
Kucinich 65%

and for the record i am a staunch INDEPENDENT!! so both sides are free to attack those scores :-)

Landi, I am so with you. I am a registered Democrat and also have considered myself pretty liberal but as I've gotten a little older and had children, I do find some of my views a little more on the conservative side. I honestly think that most of us really are in the middle of party lines and maybe it's time for a change in the two party system.

Hermione- we must have only been different by one dot somewhere along the way to have that close of a match :-)

Sharpton: 97%
Dean: 95%
Clark: 94%
Edwards: 87%
Bush: 11%

I think like every poll - it all depends on how the questions are asked. For instance: I thought combining Crime/Education and The Economy/Environment into single areas confusing the those issues. I haven't decided who will get my vote, but I know who will not My top score (Kucinich) and bottom score (Bush) will not.

3 Sharpton Score: 86%
4 Dean Score: 82%
5 Clark Score: 80%
6 Edwards Score: 79%
7 Bush Score: 3%

Hmmm. I thought many of my answers were rather middle and a few even leaned right. I think Reiki's right--it depends how much weight and what combo you give. I didn't choose a party, btw.

I voted today by internet ballot...it felt kind of weird. Convenient for this caucus, but for the big vote, I'm going in person.

Another 100% Kerry here... my last place was 23% Bush which was kind of surprising to me, that it was even that high.

Hmmm...the one I matched 100% with is someone I've never heard of...Kucinich?

From there it went Kerry 97%
Sharpton --95%
Dean -- 90%
Edwards -- 85%
Clark --85%
Bush -- 23%

I always enjoy this site...I use it at school and some of my "I'm definitely Republican" students end up VERY surprised with how their views on issues match up with the candidates.

Wow, I'm almost scared to post mine seeing all the other scores ....

Bush ..............100%
Edwards.............72%
Kerry...............65%
Clark...............57%
Dean................53%
Sharpton............37%
Kucinich............32%

I'm an independent, Bush supporter. (ducks rocks)

My scores match up pretty well, Edwards is my fave of the Dems.
