Candidate selector test: My results.. what are yours? (Apparently, I am a "hard-core liberal")

(The Senatorial/Congressional test also picked the Dem for me. No-brainer there.)

1. Nader, McKinney, Moore, Clinton, Obama
I'm always floored that Hillary is listed so far to the left on these quizzes.

2. I have to look at the issues and see what puts Barack down so low for me.

3. It's not the issues, it's the quiz. These things are always broken in some way.

almost everyone else.)

7. "Your political philosophy is Libertarian-Leaning Liberal."
My ideal candidates according to this quiz are: Hillary Clinton, Brian Moore, Barack Obama, Cynthia Mckinney, Ralph Nader.

I checked out the Democractic Veepstakes.

Apparently the ideal ticket according to this for me would have been Hillary Clinton/John Edwards. Or Hillary Clinton/Hillary Clinton.

Mark.

13. I'm a hard-core liberal and Cynthia came up first for me. Wonder how the tests
and labels are weighted?

15. Hardcore Liberal, apparently...
Nader scored 60%, Clinton & Obama 55%. I was slightly closer to Clinton socially and Obama economically.

16. Was Nader the highest one at only 60%? I wonder if there is anyone out there
in American politics who would score closer to you. (I was surprised McKinney and the Greens didn't score closer to me, given that I am a Green myself, but I was happy that the other left candidates scored as close to me as they did.)
