I find one thing of interest... my results are almost opposite as yours, but Ron Paul remains on the top...

Not exactly -- look at the order of the Democrats alone on both our lists. They are the same. Now look at the order of just the Republicans. They are almost the same, but with McCain and Giuliani swapped.

Ron Paul differs from all the candidates on some key issues. The preference for the democratic candidates over the republicans on yours can be chalked up to your social liberalism, though on foreign policy I'd bet you align more with Paul than with any of the Democrats.

Yeah, I looked again and noticed how they went about making the test. I was impressed, even if it did simplify things.

As a true gamer, though, I can't help but put Hillary at the bottom of my list despite some of the issues we may happen to agree on...

Clinton's talk about video games is probably for show -- very few voters are strongly in favor of video games, while there are plenty of overly-concerned parents to appeal to. It's a low-risk, high-yield position to take.

rudy giuliani is down at the bottom with clinton and obama.

sorry, but murdering the homeless is not cool at all. and let's not forget all the firefighters and policemen who got screwed over working after 9/11 hit. giuliani is just going to run on the fact that he was involved in 9/11 and that is it. i'm really surprised firefighters' wives haven't spoken out against him...

interestingly enough, ron paul and huckabee are my top picks. i used to live in arkansas and i liked him, haha.

Your scores are more varied if you check the "this issue is important" box on a few of them.

After I went through and checked the "this issue is important" boxes, Ron Paul with 12 points jumped from #6 to #2, though still following Dennis Kucinich at 16 points, while everyone else followed with as much as 6. though they both matched my important issues, but maybe that's because I didn't mark the immigration one as important (it was). Huh, looks like Kucinich is the only dude who sees the immigration thing my way.

Too bad Kucinich has a snowball's chance of winning the nomination.

Totally, especially being he isn't for closing our borders, which is something I liked about him. Though, if Paul's as good as they all say, I might forgo my usual plan and actually vote.

Then make sure you vote in the Republican primaries, especially if you don't want any of the other Republican candidates to win.
