President Match
I took the President Match survey sponsored by the AOL Time Warner Mega-Empire. Basically, this survey asks you a number of questions on social issues, crime/education (why they were grouped together I don't know), security/international policy, benefit programs, economy/environment (again, an interesting grouping), and party/experience. Your answers to these questions are then compared to the stated political views of the candidates (as of today, Bush and the 7 major Democratic candidates), and your compatibility to the candidates is measured.

My final results were as follows:

Bush 100%
Lieberman 71%
Edwards 52%
Clark 52%
Kerry 49%
Dean 45%
Sharpton 34%
Kucinich 29%

Other than realizing that I am a "compassionate conservative," it's interesting to note how interchangeable the four leading Democratic candidates apparently are. It might have to do with my individual answers, but according to the percentages above, there's no great difference between General "I'm a General" Clark, Dean, Edwards, and Kerry. When there are no great differences on issues, the competition turns to personality, which is why Dean's Iowa speech is STILL getting press.
