[President Match.com](http://www.presidentmatch.com) Kind of neat. Here’s how I finished: Bush: 100 % Sharpton: 66 % Edwards: 59 % Kerry: 54 % Kucinich: 51 % Dean: 48 % ---

I can’t trust those guys, after they claimed I was a 100% match with Al Sharpton. That’s right, me and Reverend Al, two birds of a feather. :dubious: ---

My results: 1 Bush Score: 100% 2 Edwards Score: 79% 3 Kerry Score: 74% 4 Dean Score: 64% 5 Kucinich Score: 63% 6 Sharpton Score: 56% I will most likely not vote for Bush this time around, I do not think he is an effective leader. I am having a tough time deciding who might be good from the candidates currently listed. ---

Or perhaps it means you’ve misjudged Sharpton ---

That’s bizzare. How can Bush score 100% on a list that shows Sharpton as 66%? (Looking at Sharpton’s positions in the survey, I see that between the many “no opinion” answers and the many religion-inspired answers, he actually holds several positions palatable to conservatives. But still…) I scored highest with Sharpton (100%), but I consider him an unprincipled whackjob, so I guess I see eye-to-eye with Kucinich. He’s apparently going down in flames, though. I could live with Kerry. I’m surprised to see Edwards so far down, but I guess I never really considered him. I’d not object to him as a running mate, though. 1 Sharpton Score: 100% 2 Kucinich Score: 99% 3 Kerry Score: 94% 4 Dean Score: 89% 5 Edwards Score: 80% 6 Bush Score: 10% ---

100% Kucinich 91% Sharpton 89% Kerry 84% Dean 80% Edwards 8% Bush (scares me to think what 8% I agree with!) Plan on voting for Kerry, though Dean was my first choice. ---

1 Kerry Score: 100% 2 Kucinich Score: 95% 3 Dean Score: 88% 4 Edwards Score: 86% 5 Sharpton Score: 86% 6 Bush Score: 46% I guess someone will be along shortly to rip up my GOP card. That’s just weird. I guess its time to re-examine my political compass. ---

Who the hell is Kucinich? Anyway, he and I are 100% compatible. I’m buying the roses as we speak. Kerry is waiting in the wings if things don’t work out, though, with 97% of my affection. Poor old GWB only gets 17% of my hot lovin’. Shame I’m not eligible to vote. ---

It’s official. I’m uber-liberal. 100% Kucinich 93% Sharpton 87% Kerry 81% Dean 75% Edwards 9% Bush (these must have been the no opinion answers). I’m voting for whomever runs against Bush. I was a Nader voter in 2000 (Kansas doesn’t see too many democrats anyway) but this time I’m not screwing around. Bush is out! ---

My wife called me at work, frantic, yelling, “My Sharpton is 100 percent! Ahhhh!” The only thing I wish is that the makers of this poll would have included some Third Party candidates, just to shake it up. ---

> [@jjimm](#): > > Who the hell is Kucinich? Anyway, he and I are 100% compatible. I’m buying the roses as we speak. He was mayor of Cleveland and went on to be a congressman for my native Ohio–I think he may have been in the House of Representitives. Many Ohioians consider him to be a bit goofy. God only knows what the rest of the country thinks. ---

> [@Chicago Faucet](#): > > The only thing I wish is that the makers of this poll would have included some Third Party candidates, just to shake it up. Absolutely…I’ve been voting Libertarian since I was old enough to pull the lever. I’d love to see how other third party candidates measured up to people’s feeling on issues. Who knows – might wake a few folks up. As for my record: 100% Kucinich 94% Kerry 93% Sharpton 89% Dean 79% Edwards 18% Bush 18% Bush?? Ahhh! Get it off me!! ---

Woo hoo! Guess I’m the furthest left here so far. Kucinich: 100% Sharpton: 89% Kerry: 82% Dean: 80% Edwards: 72% Bush: **0%** Like I needed a test to tell me I didn’t agree with Bush on one single thing. ---

I’m sure he’s a very nice guy, what with him being a vegetarian and all, but I just can’t vote for him. Kucinich looks like Alfalfa, from Our Gang! I suppose, by looking at these results, you could think I was a slighly conservative, religious environmentalist with meat issues. Oh wait. I am. 🆒 * * * 1 Kucinich Score: 100% 2 Sharpton Score: 92% 3 Dean Score: 88% 4 Kerry Score: 87% 5 Edwards Score: 80% 6 Bush Score: 41% ---
