Find the candidate for you

Here's a little AOL/TIME quiz guide that will help you find the presidential candidate who most closely matches your own views.

Mine lined up like this (candidate - match):

Kucinich - 100%
Gephardt - 94%
Sharpton - 90%
Kerry - 87%
Dean - 84%
Clark - 81%
Edwards - 80%
Lieberman - 68%
Bush - 5%

What that doesn't mean is that Kucinich and I agree on every issue. It means that Kucinich was the one that most closely matched my views. They don't explain that to you, but if you check the option to compare candidates' stands on the issues, you can see just exactly which issues you agree/differ on. That might, in fact be a very important factor - as you might agree on everything except the one issue that is most important to you personally, and still get a 100% match score.

It's kind of a neat little guide, but unfortunately, a person has to be curious enough and smart enough to look through the comparisons closely. This could otherwise be problematic and confusing to someone who just took the quiz and didn't look at the comparisons.

What do you mean nobody would do that?

Here's an interesting little bit - if you choose "no opinion" on all the separate categories and just go straight to the "overall opinion" category (Social Issues, Crime/Education, Security and International Policy, Benefit Programs, The Economy/Environment), and you put that you don't give a fig about social issues, benefit programs, education and crime, or the environment and economy, but that you are highly concerned with security and international policy, your 100% match will be....you guessed it, George W. Bush.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
