Sorry, it’d probably be different if I had weighted the issues. ☹

I was actually rather surprised that I matched up that closely with Mr. Obama.

In case anyone didn’t notice, you can click on each candidates name to see where you matched up.

86 Obama, 30 Romney, but it said I agreed 75% with Romney on **science** of all things. But the only one we agreed on is “Should the United States increase our space exploration efforts and budget?”

Jill Stein 94%  
Barack Obama 88%  
Stewart Alexander 86%  
and on down to Mitt Romney 4%

Seems about right.
