3. It is kind of hard to disagree with anything he has to say
But then again If Al Gore were on there I'm sure it would have been different.

5. I Doubt It - My Score Would Still Say Kucinich But My Logic
Would say Gore. I wish he would run. Kucinich would be a great VP to Gore.

10. That would be a very hard to beat ticket
Pulling leftists and moderates together.

12. What I Like About Gore Is That He Is Willing To Listen And Learn
I think Kucinich would have an influence on him.

17. Hell, mine was an exact tie between Obama, Clinton & Edwards.
Any of the three will be ok with me, but I would prefer Edwards.

18. Hey, wait a minute. I just read on another thread that all three of
these candidates are against "gay marriage" and I'm not. I've got to go back and take that quiz again.

22. It's because of the phrasing of the question.
They do not favor a contitutional amendment and I would assume that you do not, either.

Cool tool.

I'm an Obama Fan. But he disagree with my opposition to the death penalty. I miss Kerry.

14. Surprised me.
Senator Clinton and Senator Obama in a dead tie at 41 each.
All Democrats outscored all Replutocans.
Highest Replutocan was Rudi, at 22.

Worst overall: Mike Hukabee/Fred Thompson, at 3 each.
Worst Democrat: Joe Biden, 31.

16. OK this is very strange
It said Romney 19 - and I agree with him on abortion, stem cell and energy - I can see the energy but is Romney pro-choice and in favor of stem cell research?

Other than that no real surprise

Kucinich 65
Dodd 53
Gravel 52
Richardson 52
Edwards 50
Clinton 48
Obama 48
Biden 38
Giuliani 34
Paul 29
Romney 19
Gilmore 12
Brownback 10
McCain 7

23. Matched Kucinich the closest
And Biden the least. Obama was second-highest.

My highest Repuke was Guiliani. Ugh. And my lowest was Fred Thompson (no surprise there).

24. my top was Dodd with 30
followed by Clinton, Obama, and Edwards with 29. Low scores, I think, because most of the issues were not that important to me. Fred D. Thompson was last with a score of 1.

26. Kucinich 44 Gravel 40
Ron Paul beat Joe Biden, Hillary and Obama tied at the bottom of Dems, and my worst fit was Huckabee.

I think my only disagreement with DK was because I think ethanol is a scam.

30. Huckabee - 3 and I like 3, so he's the one for me!
Kucinich 61 followed by Dodd at 57, which surprised me more than a little, even though I like Sen. Dodd.

31. Kucinich
Just goes to show issues are not the only criterion for selecting a candidate. I agree with Kucinich on most everything, but I see him like the kid who gets a report card that says "Does not play well with others."

33. Kucinich (67) with Dodd close behind.
The front runners bunch up at around 48.

McCain is tied for last with 5.

34. Kucinich always wins this one.
When it is ideas that are the topic, he wins. He is the mainstream candidate, most Americans agree with his ideas and plans, he just can't break through the corporate stonewall, and his campaign people are just padding their resumes so they can go to DC and get some of them big bucks (they think).
