27. Clint Eastwood is pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, was against the Iraq War and is very pro-environment

His record as mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea speaks for itself - he was a strong advocate of environmental protection.

He's a Republican, sure, but he has more in common with people like Lincoln Chafee, Colin Powell, Lowell Weicker and James Jeffords than Rick Santorum or Michele Bachmann.
