I Was Waiting for a Quiz Like This
R. Alex Whitlock
... and
here it is. The results:
1. Your ideal theoretical candidate. (100%)
2. President George W. Bush - Republican (65%)
3. Michael Badnarik - Libertarian (57%)
4. Senator John Kerry (MA) - Democrat (45%)
5. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (OH) - Democrat (42%)
6. Rep. Dick Gephardt (MO) - Democrat (40%)
7. Gov. Howard Dean (VT) - Democrat (40%)
8. Senator Joe Lieberman (CT) - Democrat (36%)
9. Senator John Edwards (NC) - Democrat (36%)
10. Michael Peroutka - Constitution Party (35%)
11. Rev. Al Sharpton - Democrat (22%)
12. David Cobb - Green Party (22%)
13. Ralph Nader - Independent (22%)
14. Fmr. Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun (IL) - Democrat (18%)
15. Dr. John Hagelin - Natural Law (17%)
16. Gen. Wesley Clark - Democrat (15%)
17. Lyndon H. LaRouche - Democrat (10%)
18. Walt Brown - Socialist Party (8%)
The only real surprises here are that Kucinich is as high as he is and Clark is as low as he is.
Does anyone know of any other such quizzes?
Observations
Hmmm... I don't think this is a really good quiz. Its pretty generic and blah with the questionnaire. I've seen better from as far back as 2000. I had to take a few for a class when I was at A&M. I was the only person in the class who identified most closely with the Constitution Party.
2000 had some great quizzes! The best quizzes I've seen are the Kimber & O'Leary ones from 1994, 1997, and 1998. Unfortunately, they stopped producing them and surprisingly no one has filled that void as effectively.
Apparently was a Deaniac in a former life:

3. Cobb, David - Green Party (85%)
4. Nader, Ralph - Independent (85%)
5. Clark, Retired General Wesley K., AR - Democrat (78%)
6. Sharpton, Reverend Al - Democrat (77%)
7. Kucinich, Rep. Dennis, OH - Democrat (74%)
8. Brown, Walt - Socialist Party (68%)
9. Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat (67%)
10. Moseley-Braun, Former Senator Carol, IL - Democrat (67%)
11. Edwards, Senator John, NC - Democrat (65%)
12. LaRouche, Lyndon H. Jr. - Democrat (56%)
13. Lieberman, Senator Joe, CT - Democrat (51%)
14. Gephardt, Rep. Dick, MO - Democrat (51%)
15. Badnarik, Michael - Libertarian (35%)
16. Hagelin, Dr. John - Natural Law (18%)
17. Bush, President George W. - Republican (11%)
18. Peroutka, Michael - Constitution Party (8%)
Here's mine. The first three make sense; the rest of them, well, there's way too any democrats on the list. Weird. Something ain't right about that test. . .

We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem.
