3. Barack Obama (85%)
4. Christopher Dodd (withdrawn) (77%)

So....Dennis Kucinich, huh? Well, Kucinich not withstanding, I guess I'm not too surprised that Barack showed up at the top of the list.

Barack Obama was my top candidate which did surprise me since I am from Arkansas and intented on voting for Hilliary Clinton. I have lived in Arkansas most of my life and was fully prepared to support Clinton. After taking this survey I realize that Obama shares my core views. According to the survey stem cell research was the only issue we disagree about.

2. Barack Obama (83%)
3. John Edwards (withdrawn)(73%)
4. Christopher Dodd (withdrawn)(72%)

Obama is one of my top selections.

Edwards is o.k., but I have not been too enthusiastic about him.

I think I've seen Dodd before although I am unaware of what his views are or how he carries himself ( other than the fact the survey list him as my number 3 ).

2. Wayne Allyn Root (65%)
3. John McCain (64%)
4. Rudolph Giuliani (62%)

Don't know Root...

The results weren't really all that surprising and after reading about Root I can see why he ranked so high. I think it's a little simplistic, but to do it 100% right would take to long and no one would want to fill it out.

2.Joseph Biden (withdrawn)(77%)
3.Hillary Clinton (71%)
4.Al Gore (not announced)(68%)

I don't know who Joseph Biden, nor do I keep up with politics all too well but, Hillary Clinton is not someone I would have thought would end up as one of my top choices.

Barack Obama(66%)

My results were not much of a surprise to me . I pretty much new that my candidate selected would be a democrat. Out of the three selected for me, Barack Obama is the only candidate not withdrawn. While researching the issues for which he stands, such as, the war in Iraq, social security, and the national budget, I feel that he definitely has a shot at being our next president.

1. Barack Obama
2. Ron Paul
3. Hillary Clinton
All three of the above candidates are still in the running. I had no second thoughts about considering Ron Paul for president. After taking the exam, it spark my curiosity to learn more about him.
I like the message of change that Barack presents in his speeches and I still favor him as our next President.
As for Hillary, I don't trust her and I don't think this country is ready for a woman president with the way the world situation is today.
