Candidate Platform assessment

[tamarinne]

I came across this quiz which asks you to rate your feelings on 11 hot-button issues, and then tells you how the platforms of the various Democratic and Republican candidates correspond to your views.  A couple of caveats - we're talking platforms, not necessarily actual policy; and I have no knowledge of how their formula works or how they weight the positions of the candidates.   Still, it was an interesting exercise.  I came up tied between Clinton and Obama, which pretty well summarizes the decision I'm trying to make; and Giuliani was far and away the best match for me among the Republicans - which, again, sounds just about right.
