I took that test last night and got the same. McCain, Hunter, Huckabee, Thompson in that order with very close numbers. Kucinich (sp) was last on the list. Unlike you, I don't see anybody I would feel comfortable voting for yet. The only one I trust not to be pandering to some degree is Ron Paul, and I'd have trouble with him for various reasons. I am beginning to see politics as a pandering contest anyway, with the Panderer in Chief, the Senate Majority Panderer, my own personal congressional district panderer, and on and on like that. I'll probably vote for the lesser of evil choices presented to me by my fellow Americans when the time comes. People get the government they deserve. The web site seems to be down this morning. ARS

My results show that I'm most aligned with Hunter, McCain and Thompson, in that order. The only thing dems and I agree on is the Death Penalty. Thanks for posting..
