4. Interesting.
It said I should be voting for Kuchinich, Richardson, or Edwards. I'll have to take a closer look at Kuchinich.

I should NOT be voting for Thompson, Brownback, or Romney. No surprises there.

6. I haven't taken this one
Edited on Tue Sep-25-07 02:25 PM by goodgd_yall
I took one similar to it. But on this, as in the other, Kucinich is my top candidate (90%) followed by Gravel, Edwards, and then Clinton.

I'm surprised Obama wasn't higher on my list. Biden and Dodd come before him.

Not surprised by my lowest of the low candidates: Romney, Tancredo,Duncan Hunter, and Brownback

9. Hmm...
When I entered what I believe my true feelings were, it came out Kucinich, Clinton, Dodd.

Because I don't believe that I share Ms. Clinton's values... I went back and changed every position and quite a number of the "importance" values...

And the result was Clinton, Dodd, Kucinich!

Something doesn't smell right.

10. it's severely flawed though
just as a test I decided to click on everything as UNSURE, except the one about military action against Iran. I clicked support, and it came out that every Dem except Kucinich and Gravel support attacking Iran.
