Dec. 14, 2007 - Presidential Quiz~ A teriffic tool!
Okay, for all you out there who would like to do you own research and figure out which candidate lines up most with YOUR views, check this out...
Go to www.MyElectionChoices.com. This site will allow you to select the national issues that are most important to you. For each issue, you will then review a series of statements or opinions made by various candidates and determine which ones you agree with. The candidate identities for each statement is withheld to remove all artificial biases toward specific candidates. After determining the statements you agree with, the site then tells you which candidates you have most in common with.
While my results were not surprising (so far, Huckabee is my top candidate, although I have not yet worked through all the issues), I was surprised to see who made some of the other statements I found I agreed with. (Hilary Clinton?! ~ Relax, it was only two or three).
Give it a try and tell me who you most agree with. I though this site was really well done and since you don't know who made the comments, your prejudices are somewhat removed. See if you really agree with who you are promoting!

My results were definitively Ron Paul...so it does work...mostly.
I would prefer a system where it used their historical voting records in combination with their "statements" since I have seen many of these politicians make statements which they have not stood behind.

I think a combination of both a record and the recent statements might be better...I do understand the propensity of politicians to make statements that are expedient to the campaign. =)
However, I was happy to see a tool like this...
