Excellent candidate quiz
At a Netherlands site, of all places:

http://www.eenvandaag.nl/stemwijzerusa/en/

At the end, it gives you a nice rundown of the different candidates' positions relative to yours.

Unfortunately, it doesn't list Kucinich or Ron Paul, but it's a good chance to see how you stand relative to the others.

1. Edwards is kicking butt!
I hope that the people who find themselves agreeing with him the most actually vote for him.

14. I vote for who is going to accomplish more of what I want to see accomplished.
Sometimes that isn't the person who says all the things I want to hear.

18. Mine showed Edwards, Clinton, Obama
although I lean Edwards, Obama, Clinton.

Some things just can't be factored into a quiz like this, but overall it's very good.

17. Edwards for me.
No surprise though. Ive long been torn between him and Obama. If I could have voted for both I would have.

19. This was my list...
Barack Obama (D)
John Edwards (D)
Hillary Clinton (D)
John McCain (R)
Rudy Giuliani (R)
Mike Huckabee (R)
Fred Thompson (R)
Mitt Romney (R)

It said that Obama and Edwards were a tie for me.

20. My wife, her mother, and I all had exactly identical lists
John Edwards (D)
Hillary Clinton (D)
Barack Obama (D)
Rudy Giuliani (R)
Mike Huckabee (R)
John McCain (R)
Mitt Romney (R)
Fred Thompson (R)

I was already in the Edwards camp, Mrs. Lwcon has been leaning toward Hillary, and I don't think her mother's decided yet. I'll see if I can get my mom to take it, too.

Man, is Super Duper Tuesday (Feb. 5) going to be a memorable day!

But I hope people will take a moment out, though, to remember it's also America's Day of Shame: http://www.dayofshame.com
