I'm a 90% for Gravel, followed by 60% for Clinton, and then 59% for Obama.

I think the major issues it falls down to is same sex marriage, school vouchers, and how much I don't care about gun laws.

I always knew I was best for Gravel as far as policies goes, (I took this calculator a while ago) but I also knew that Obama was far more charismatic, and likely to win.

Another issue with this is that there aren't many issues on the plate. Videogame legislation is very high on my list, and would've shot Clinton down a few pegs. I also support Obama's health plan over hers.

Lastly, I don't think Obama is for the fair tax, but I'm not sure.

You're thinking of Ted Stevens.

My top match in this test is Gravel, with Paul and Obama trailing a bit. McCain and Huckabee are middle of the pack, Clinton and Romney are bottom of the barrel. Romney was far below everyone else with 23%.

I havent gone through and taken the test entirely seriously (just quickly selecting what i know about), but I keep fluttering between McCain and Obama. I guess I should sit down and go through it more >_>

I'm sort of wondering how it's getting these results, I've read the majority of Obama's 50 some odd page plan, and agree with almost every single point in it.

I have a feeling this is viral marketing for the Gravel campaign.

The issues seem to be targeted at Gravel-ish topics, but I don't think it's so biased. There just needs to be more topics.

I know some people that got Ron Paul and Hillary Clinton.

I just think that if some of you actually researched the candidates, you'll actually find Mike Gravel appealing, instead of jumping on an Obama bandwagon.

And this test isn't like an Aperture Science Heavy Duty 100% Proof Candidate Test for Accuracy. It's just to give an idea of who one would like.

And kirby's right, it's a shame that some of these topics are "issues". Why not bring up more topics that have some relevancy to the government?

83.33% Obama and 70.83% Clinton.

Seems like Gravel is actually the most common result (15.46% of people who have taken it).
I suspect he may have official positions on things that other candidates are afraid to for fear that only people like me would agree, but I'm not sure of that.

I would have supported him in the first round of caucusing here, but he wasn't even on the ballot (his webpage leads me to suspect that he didn't even know that the Democrats here were holding a caucus before the official primary date :v: ).


Also, this.

A lot of candidates are too chicken to give straight answers on some issues. I remember reading an article with questions about internet laws and such. Obama and Paul were the only ones willing to give straight answers on everything. Everyone else dodged some of the questions.
