100% Kucinich  
95% Sharpton  
90% Kerry  
86% Dean  
80% Edwards  
11% Bush (these must have been the no opinion answers).

**FilmGeek** , your not the only uber-liberal.

I’ve been falling under the Edwards spell, and the stuff I disagree with him on are not my hot button items, or we fell the same but in a different degree. I wish he was a bit more politically-seasoned because I think he is a better choice than Kerry, except that Kerry may get more swing voters than Edwards due to the difference in experience.

Even if I am closest politically to Sharpton, there’s no way I’m a “100% match.” In the same way, I doubt that other Dopers are 100% matches with Kucinich, Bush, etc.

It would have been better if the site tells you more about how close you actually are to each candidate, rather than grade you on a curve and claim you were 100% in agreement with a candidate.

Kucinich 100%

Al 95%

Kerry 94%

Dean 91%

Edwards 82%

Bush 8%

I’m suprised that Edwards is that far down on the list.

I’m also suprised that Bush and I anything higher than 0%. What the hell is wrong with me?

That last one is about 8% too high, I think.

that’s why I waited damn near 10 minutes for this screen to come up.

eh.

anyway…

Kucinich: 100%  
Sharpton: 88%  
Kerry: 86%  
Dean: 83%  
Edwards: 76%  
Bush: 2%

Sounds about right to me. After I had read the first replies to this topic, I was afraid that I too would be 100 percent in agreement with Bush. (seemed like everyone was at first)

Yeah, I think the 100% is a bit off. If you do a comparison of all candidates, it gives you their answers… I know I answered quite a bit differently than Kucinich at times. I think that the site is just “guess-timating”.

In any case…

Kucinich: 100%

Sharpton: 90%

Kerry: 88%

Dean: 81%

Edwards: 80%

Bush: 16% (And, to be quite frank, I’m surprised he got that.)  
I wish this would be retroactive for the last election… I’d like to see how I would have done with McCain. (Why oh why did you Republicans have to go for Bush?)

Al: 92%

John K: 91%

Howie: 88%

John E: 82%, but I’d still vote for him in a heartbeat.

Georgie: 9%; I have no clue how that happened.
