I’m with Garrett. I think they gave different weights to the liberal questions. I’d like to see a list of the candidates it decided were eligible. I also think there are “key” issues that decide which candidate is best for you. Whichever candidate thinks that your issue is “key” as well, and sides with you is your best match. Yes, that means there won’t be perfect matches for a lot of people. Anyways, I supposedly am a match for Barack Obama by 57%. Take the test yourself to see if you agree with our findings.
You match up well with…
| Barack Obama – 57% You must be ambitious and idealistic, like Barack Obama. Obama is a liberal democrat who, unlike his rivals, opposed the Iraq war from the start. With only 3 years in the Senate, his inexperience worries some and sometimes reveals itself in the debates, but he also has the charisma and popular support that the others lack. |

| Sam Brownback – 54% As an “economically, fiscally, and socially compassionate conservative,” Sam Brownback is the candidate for you! You should consider our second choice, though, because Brownback dropped out in November 2007. The fiercely right-wing Senator from Kansas lets his religion guide his policy agenda- especially towards foreigners. He is best known for his unrelenting crusade against the genocide in Darfur and world-wide sex-trafficking. In a moment of particular compassionate, he co-sponsored a 2006 bipartisan immigration bill that branded him “Amnesty Sam” by critical conservatives and he later abandoned the cause. But there’s no compassion for homosexuals, the porn industry, or women seeking abortions. Brownback’s high-profile war against these groups has also put him in the spotlight. |

| Tom Tancredo – 54% You must be REALLY concerned with immigration, just like Tom Tancredo. You’ll have to find another right-winger, because your top match dropped out in December of 2007. As stated, Tancredois almost obsessively preoccupied with the issue of immigration (illegal or not) and wants more than just fences and laws to keep out foreign workers. He also opposes birth-right citizenship and wants to deploy American troops along the US-Mex border. But aside from immigration, Tancredero has advocated for bombing Mecca to get back at Islamic terrorists, formally called for the elimination of public schools, and resists the President Bush’s big-government agenda. You might like him, but his own party thinks he’s a disaster- Tom DeLay told him that ‘you cannot think of making a career in [Congress]‘ and even Karl Rove told him that he would never ‘darken the doorstep of the White House’ again. |

When not spending time behind a computer screen bringing you his latest blog posts; you might catch him playing video games on his PC; eating/cooking something in the kitchen of his house in North Chattanooga; watching movies from his Netflix queue; volunteering for the Boy Scouts of America; fueling his wilderness interests by hiking, camping, backpacking, rafting, kayaking; sustaining his established hobbies in videography, photography, or music; running his DJ business with his brother as a partner; or hanging out with his friends doing any number of fun activities.
