No Suprise Here

Mark at ShaKaRee posted his results to this quiz about how closely one's political positions agree with various candidates. Even though the questions tended to have one stereotypical right-wing response, and multiple and nuanced left-wing responses, and though the "Libertarian Candidate" goes unnamed, I can not argue with the results:

  1. Libertarian Candidate   (100%)
  2. Bush, George W. - US President   (87%)
  3. Edwards, Senator John, NC - Democrat   (65%)
  4. Phillips, Howard - Constitution   (55%)
  5. Graham, Senator Bob, FL - Democrat   (54%)
  6. Gephardt, Cong. Dick, MO - Democrat   (52%)
  7. Lieberman Senator Joe CT - Democrat   (50%)
  8. Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat   (50%)
  9. Dean, Gov. Howard, VT - Democrat   (45%)
  10. Kucinich, Cong. Dennis, OH - Democrat   (37%)
  11. Moseley-Braun, Former Senator Carol IL - Democrat   (22%)
  12. Sharpton, Reverend Al - Democrat   (18%)
  13. LaRouche, Lyndon H. Jr. - Democrat   (-9%)

I am a little bummed that everyone from Dennis Kucinich on down scored as high as they did. It's a little surprising that John Edwards rated so high, though I suspect that his and my versions of "prefer other solutions" are in fact wildly different.

So come on Mark, uncheck the box that takes third-party candidates off the ballot and let's see where the third parties fall on your scale.

Okay, I've done so. See the results (and commentary).
