A new website called Glassbooth has an on-line Presidential quiz. It is pretty interesting. First go to the quiz and rate issues that matter to you. You have 20 points to distribute and rate. For instance I rated civil liberties and Iraq high, but did not give credence to drugs. Then click at the bottom after you distribute the 20 points and take the quiz.
My candidate: Dennis Kucinich - I agreed with Dennis on 93% of the issues.
Second candidate - Mike Gravel - I agreed with Mr. Gravel on 91% of the issues.
My third candidate - John Edwards - I agreed with Edwards on 83% of the issues.
I would be very interested to see what SG readers score on this quiz. Take the quiz and report back.

99% kucinich
93% gravel
For me: Kucinich 93%, Edwards- 87%, Gravel- 86%
Mike Gravel 85%
Mike Gravel was born on May 13, 1930. He is a Democrat from Alaska. He served the state of Alaska as a Senator in the U.S. Senate from 1969 to 1981. He is primarily known for his efforts in ending the draft following the Vietnam War. While a Senator, Gravel put the Pentagon Papers into public record.
Barack Obama - 83%
Edwards - 81%
Interesting, not yet a Hillary.
I checked my scores again...you can click to see where you fit with the other candidates. Dodd was 4th, Hillary was 5th and Obama was 7th for me.
Kucinich 88%
Edwards 84%
Gravel 80%
Obama was 7th for me as well.
Incidentally, when I looked at my scribbled list of which candidate matched up with my beliefs, I realized that Hillary was the only one I referred to by her first name. Do you guys think we would've called W. by his first name (instead of calling him "Bush") if he didn't have the same first name as his daddy?
95% Kucinich
93% Gravel
88% Edwards
Incidentally, Huckabee and I are 35% similar. That seems high.
It gave me Kucinich, of course. Primarily because of gay marriage, I suppose. What I thought was more interesting is that all eight Democrats fell in at between 73% (Biden) and 82% (Kucinich).
What this tells me is that I need to be evaluating candidates not on the minutia of their positions (which are bound to change in any event when actually governing), but rather on strength of character and judgement.
On the other hand, all the Republicans came in to 30% range (Romney topped them out at 39%). So, if I'm concerned about the issues represented by that 4o-point partisan gap, I should be thinking about electability.
Also, as I'm a delegate candidate for Obama, perhaps I should consider the pledge I signed and support him. OK, I guess I will.
Barack Obama for President! He agrees with me 76% of the time!

Kucinich - 85%, Gravel - 84%, Edwards - 73%. Ha ha!! That's hilarious, being that I support and will vote in the primaries for Obama!
Exactly the point lady liberal - exactly the point.
80% Kucinich...the rest is irrelevant. I think this survey was developed by Dennis "The Menace" Kucinich's lackey's... How could most of us have him as our #1 otherwise? I think this whole thing is a rouse! OBAMA '08!!!
DJ Stinkshake:
It proves that Kucinich is the best candidate in the race as far as policies are concerned, but we aren't listening...
Mike Gravel 83%
Barack Obama 80%
Bill Richardson 80%
