Most of my answers were under the “choose another stance”

Looks like spam to me.
Regardless, I side 87% with Obama, then Jill (never heard of her, is that the Green Party?), 69% Ron Paul, 58% Romney. None of that was particularly surprising to me.

Here’s the actual [quiz](http://www.isidewith.com/presidential-election-quiz). I got 87% agreement with Gary Johnson. Not surprising since I’m a small-l libertarian, and that’s what his political rhetoric is. He is a big-L Libertarian though, so I don’t like the association. Don’t know who Jill Stein is, that was my second, but these are all pretty broad questions that don’t provide for the nuances of each issue, and I didn’t feel like adding my own stance.

88% with Jill “Who?” Stein, 82% with Obama, 70% Gary Johnson, 60% Ron Paul, 13% Mitt Romney.

87% Green Party
84% Barack Obama
27% Mitt Romney
Sounds accurate to me.

I liked that you had to give two dimensions to each question. There are definitely things I strongly agree with the sentiment but they aren’t that important in terms of who to vote for.
I was surprised by how high the Green and American Socialist candidate aligned with me.

Jill Stein is the Green Party candidate for office and was endorsed by Chomsky.

That explains why nobody ever heard of her.

Who and what sort of mutant is Virgil Goode that I only match him on 2%?
Wait, I only match Romney on 3%? That’s surprisingly low. I guess they went for maximizing contentious issues, which is fair.

80% Obama, 74% Stein, 54% Romney.
The Romney bit surprises the hell out of me. Says I agree with his domestic policy and domestic issues. I guess I’ll have look into just what his stance on these are; wasn’t aware they were anything other than the standard party line.

Nothing surprising, my top 2 candidates were from the Green and socialist parties.
