I took a political quiz that was on my brother’s blog: n00tz.net
and came up with some interesting results on who, of the candidates that ran in the primary season, I am in the most support of:

- I match up well with… -

Barack Obama

65% Match – You must be ambitious and idealistic, like Barack Obama. Obama is a liberal democrat who, unlike his rivals, opposed the Iraq war from the start. With only 3 years in the Senate, his inexperience worries some and sometimes reveals itself in the debates, but he also has the charisma and popular support that the others lack.

Chris Dodd

52% Match – Dodd is a liberal democrat who is a well-seasoned policy-maker. He has been in Washington since 1975 as a U.S. Representative and Senator and consistently receives thing between a 95-100% approval rating from Americans for Democratic Action and the National Committee for an Effective Congress. Unlike his Democrat counterparts, he believes that same-sex marriage and civil unions should be an issue left to states and supports free trade agreements. As a legislator, he is known for his work on expanding health care coverage to the uninsured, particularly children.

John Edwards

44% Match – John Edwards is a progressive democrat with little legislative experience (6 years). He has noble goals accompanied with detailed plans of how to accomplish them. He believes that resources are best spent on poverty alleviation (in the U.S.), universal health coverage, and addressing global warming than on reducing the budget deficit or continue funding an unpopular war. He is the most populist and protectionist of the candidates and is the only one willing to admit that his plans will require more- not fewer taxes, but the bill will still be less than what the Iraq War is currently costing.

Here’s the test.

- I don’t match up well with… -

John McCain

31% Match – As a fiscally conservative, socially moderate Republican, McCain is not afraid to align himself with either party on important issues. Republican support dropped due to his progressive stance on immigration and environmental issues and his unwaivering support for the prolonged military presence in Iraq has killed any chance of winning over Democrats. He is a active in exposing corruption and will attack both Republican and Democrat politicians for pork-barrel projects, pitting him against both parties.

Duncan Hunter

35% Match – Congratulations! You and Duncan Hunter are socially conservative nativists! Hunter is a conservative Republican Congressman from California who is big on unborn babies but not immigrants. He best known in congress for his prominent role in constructing a 14-mile double fence along the US-Mex border and introducing the Right to Life Act, which would give constitutional rights to anything that develops after the moment of conception. Unlike many Republicans, he opposes free trade because he says it poses a threat to American manufacturing and creates a huge trade deficit. To discourage trade, he has proposed a law that allows American companies to use “exchange-rate manipulation” as an excuse to receive protection under America’s trade laws.

Sam Brownback

36% Match – As an “economically, fiscally, and socially compassionate conservative,” Sam Brownback is the candidate for you! You should consider our second choice, though, because Brownback dropped out in November 2007.

The fiercely right-wing Senator from Kansas lets his religion guide his policy agenda- especially towards foreigners. He is best known for his unrelenting crusade against the genocide in Darfur and world-wide sex-trafficking. In a moment of particular compassionate, he co-sponsored a 2006 bipartisan immigration bill that branded him “Amnesty Sam” by critical conservatives and he later abandoned the cause. But there’s no compassion for homosexuals, the porn industry, or women seeking abortions. Brownback’s high-profile war against these groups has also put him in the spotlight.
