If you are unsure of where each presidential candidate stands on various issues (environment, education, social security, national security, etc..), you can go here.
There will be a series of questions to find out how you feel about different issues and then you will get matched up with the most compatible presidential candidate.
Mine:
Kerry %100
Kucinich %95
Sharpton %95
Dean %92
Edwards %91
Bush %36
Do you know who your presidential candidate is?
Moderators: Tunnelcat, Jeff250
Bush/Republican: 100%
Edwards/Democrat: 60%
Kerry/Democrat: 60%
Dean/Democrat: 50%
Sharpton/Democrat: 30%
Kucinich/Democrat: 30%
No surprise there except I think there are many more differences between Kerry and Edwards. The problem is because Kerry comes down on every side of every issue it makes it difficult to quantify his stances. Hence, he looks just like Edwards on paper when in fact I find Edwards to be a legitimate candidate and Kerry an anti-candidate. It's been very revealing the last few days the allure Edwards has to draw independents and Republicans that Kerry definitely doesn't have. Edwards has much more *electability* in my mind. Unfortunately, it's also fairly obvious who the DNC favors. A Bush/Edwards matchup would be a good race, imo; a Bush/Kerry race is just going to be ugly.

Bush: 100%
Edwards: 44%
Kerry: 35%
Dean: 32%
Kucinich: 14%
I think "The Rev" must have landed in negative digits or something for me. No sight of big Al in my final tally. *shrug* I dunno about the 100% for Bush, but the 14% for Kucinich is on the money.
edit: ah, I selected "must have previously held elected office," which ruled out Sharpton.
