Well, my ratings were different, but at least Ron Paul scored higher than
Hillary Clinton.

Same here. Also he was higher than Barack Hussein Obama.

I don't see my ratings anywhere close to where I am politically.

If you are comparing various positions then it makes sense. But to me a
candidate of my choice is about more than their publicized positions on the
various issues. I look at a lot more than where they say they are, or what
they claime to believe in.

My choices still are Paul or Edwards based on the sincerity each man brings
to the table -- coupled to their positions.

My final choice may be neither of these two, for other reasons. But as of
right now, my first choice is Edwards over Paul because I think Edwards will
get elected before Paul would. Come primary day here in California, I may
have another choice to make depending on who is ahead in the race, and who
has the best chance of getting elected.

As an 'independent' I can vote in either party's primary. I just have to
declare one or the other come election day.

Nice...!



I see the tests as interesting for pure illumination of a particular
policy statement but not necessarily indicative of voting where the
'whole man' is considered..............

Also, some of the questions were really 'black and white' where in
reality there is much gray involved that was not taken into
consideration.

One thing I noticed from someone else taking the test is that the "not
important....very important" line apparently gave a lot of weight to the
answers in the final score and I really did not mess with that part
except for 1 or 2 questions........
