I just took this poll that purports to help you figure out who you should vote for in ‘08, based on your responses to various questions about how you prioritize what issues . . . and it rocked! I was curious to see where I came out, because I feel fairly educated about the issues and most of the high-profile candidates. I know others thought they did pretty well when they scored 80% compatibility with their candidate of choice.
Well, I was a 100% match with Barack Obama!

Yes, I have a crush . . . and thank goodness vajoe.com can validate that for me. Really, though, I’m amazed that I could score that high compatibility with his positions. I hear people griping all the time about how there’s no candidate that truly speaks to them; for once, I’m comfortable supporting a candidate 100%. I don’t know that he’ll win with Clinton in the game, but if he doesn’t, watch out down the road because he’ll be formidable. We will have an Obama presidency yet.

Here’s how I matched up with everyone else:
Senator Barack Obama (D) – 100%

Former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel (D) – 91.67%
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson (D) – 84.72%
Ohio Representative Dennis Kucinich (D) – 83.33%

Delaware Senator Joseph Biden (D) – 80.56%
New York Senator Hillary Clinton (D) – 80.56%
Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards (D) – 80.56%
Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd (D) – 69.44%
Businessman John Cox (R) – 52.78%
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) – 52.78%
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (R) – 45.83%
Arizona Senator John McCain (R) – 38.89%
Texas Representative Ron Paul (R) – 34.72%
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (R) – 33.33%

Kansas Senator Sam Brownback (R) – 30.56%
Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson (R) – 27.78%
Colorado Representative Tom Tancredo (R) – 23.61%
California Representative Duncan Hunter (R) – 16.67%
