Kinda funny that I moderately like two of the people on the list (Feingold and Kucinich) but don't like the rest of them.

The top two are pretty much exactly as I would have guessed - I'd be pretty happy with Bayh or Richardson. The list is a little more left-leaning after those two than I thought it would be, especially since I took hawkish positions on immigration, business and labor, gun control and the budget...

I had the same problem with lots of the answers to the questions. WAY to extreme for me.

I agree it wasn't as deftly written as it could have been. For the ones I didn't like the answers, I answered neither/other.

 

What IS handy is the chart you can go to by clicking the "information" link, showing each candidates stance on issues in a more dynamic way.

haha look at me........
