My Presidential Candidate Quiz Results

Here's what I got on my quiz results (selectsmart.com) for a presidential candidate. I'm quite surprised that Colbert came after Hillary Clinton, because I just plain ol' would have voted for him if it came down between the two. Research on Kucinich tells me that I apparently support legalizes marijuana. Hmmmm. Obama's the closest match, and I'm a bit relieved that this is so. I'm definitely surprised to see Romney after McCain, really. Apparently Romney and I don't agree on gun control, health care, civil liberties, and immigration. Sarah's the one who encouraged me to do this, and I'm pretty sure she's going to call me a liberal whore. :)

I just noticed that Newt was on my list. Pretty frickin' scary.

he he he,

So don't hate me, but Romney was my number 1. Also, I have to say that the survey was a bit of a joke. The options really didn't leave much room for nuanced positions, they were very black and white. I found myself checking neither for the majority, just cause the options offered were too stark. No suprise I ended up with Romney the pragmatist. Here is my results (note colbert is higher on my list than yours ;) And dennis kucinich is way at the bottom, how different are your and my views anyway?):
