Minnesota public radio has a rather interesting "poll" to help show where your views line up with the candidate.
It's kinda bogus in that you are asked to break down some rather complex issues in to a very few choices, but it is interesting.
Apparently I should be supporting Kucinich. Interesting.
Take the poll here

Too bad for me Carol Moseley Braun dropped out. 
Looks like I'm even-steven between Dean and Edwards. So I can take a little more solace in the Iowa results I reckon.

Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them.

Apparently I should be supporting Dean. Which I am. Although we only agree on: Iraq, Prescription Drugs, Tax Breaks, ANWR oil, Patriot Act, Free Trade, and Agriculture.
The order of the others is interesting. It goes: Kucinich, Lieberman, Clark, Bush, Kerry, Gephardt, Edwards, Braun, Sharpton. It's odd how Bush is dead center of that list.

I'm not American, so it's not my business actually and for lots of things I don't care, but just for the fun of it I would favour a Mr. John Kerry to 71% (is that good or bad?).
And I have 0.0% agreement with George Bush, so I assume this test only shows democrats in the results for political reasons.

The list is a bit weird. It bolds the issues you think are important, but in some cases, my POV and the candidate's on the issue were 100% divergent.
Anyway, FWIW I got:
Bush
Lieberman
Kucinich (I'm guessing he's this high because of gay rights and marijuana).
Kerry
Gephardt (now out of the race)
Edwards
Mosely-Braun (now out of the race)
Sharpton
Dean
Clark.

Yeah. That was my impression as well. And probably why Kucinich came up for me as well.

I got an interesting pairing:
1. Joe Lieberman
2. Dennis Kucinich
3. John Kerry
Kucinich got a bump because he's the only who supports gay marriage (in their interpretation).
I guess I fall in line with Lieberman on some economic issues, but I despise his Bush as.s kissing and Iraq warmongering.
So I'll take Kerry, I guess.
I liked Edwards and Clark just for being Southerners and perhaps electable, but I guess I'll have to learn more about their stands on the issues to find out why they fell so low for me.

Not too surprising, though I don't like Kucinich personally...
Kucinich: 72
Dean: 72
Carol mosely braun: 72
Al Sharpton 63
John kerry 63
Lieberman 54
Gephardt 54
Edwards 54
Clark 45
Bush 0
I especially like the Bush zero part.

I had a hard time taking it because I kept trying to guess who said what. It looked like they basically just took the positions of the candidates and turned them directly into options.
Lieberman, Dean, and Edwards were high for me, and Kucinich, Sharpton, and Bush were low.

George Bush 58.0
Wesley Clark 33.0

Richard Gephardt 25.0
Howard Dean 25.0
John Kerry 16.0
Carol Moseley Braun 16.0
Al Sharpton 8.0
Dennis Kucinich 8.0
John Edwards 8.0
It's a little better than the other test, in that no one breaks a 60%, and the ordering of the candidates is a little closer to what feels right to me.
I am somewhat dismayed to see that nobody matched my opinions on health coverage, though.

I took the test 4-5 times, adjusting a few responses each time to account for vagueness and to see if there was any consistency. Every single time, I was solidly aligned with Josef Stalin.
Just kidding. It was consistently Kerry and Lieberman rotating at the 1 and 2 spots, with Edwards and Dean showing up most often at 3 and 4. So, whaddaya know, I'm a hopelessly boring centrist, which is fine. However, in order to spice things up, I'm going to call myself a neo-moderate and start a cabal.

I'm not sure if I find it reassuring or depressing that my closest match was a 38.

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

I despise bush, dean is scary, and al sharpton is a lunatic. Very few of the questions actually had answers that I found at all acceptable. I dislike multiple choice tests for this reason.
