9. Thanks El Pinko. That was a very interesting quiz.
As a Kucinich supporter, I was surprised to see that I matched up with Edwards. I guess Edwards goes on record with the words I want to hear.

If the quiz asked the question if we wanted accountability in Washington, Kucinich would have won my vote, and the vote of most of the people on this board hands down.

14. My results
76% Bill Richardson (D)
73% Chris Dodd (D)
71% Barack Obama (D)
70% John Edwards (D)
68% Hillary Clinton (D)
65% Rudy Giuliani (R)
63% Mike Gravel (D)
62% Joe Biden (D)
60% John McCain (R)
55% Dennis Kucinich (D)
51% Mike Huckabee (R)
50% Mitt Romney (R)
43% Fred Thompson (R)
40% Ron Paul (R)
38% Tom Tancredo (R)

I can't believe that I got Tancredo at 38%. The guy is a bit crazy. He is nice enough in person (if you don't talk politics with him), but far too wacky to be in politics.

24. Interesting quiz! Here are my results:
93% Dennis Kucinich
92% Mike Gravel
86% Chris Dodd
85% Barack Obama
83% Hillary Clinton
82% John Edwards
82% Joe Biden
74% Bill Richardson
39% Rudy Giuliani
25% Ron Paul
25% John McCain
17% Mike Huckabee
16% Mitt Romney
15% Tom Tancredo
7% Fred Thompson

I am still undecided on Obama and Clinton, but why I will still gladly support the Dem nominee in the GE, because Obama and Clinton are both a lot better than McCain. I guess the results of this quiz help to quantify that. :)
