Decided to give the script a quick run. I'm pretty frightened that Kucinich scored the highest for me. Then again, over half of my stances were "Unknown/Other".
Kucinich 26
Obama 22
Richardson 22
Edwards 22
Clinton 22
Gravel 21
Dodd 20
Biden 18
Giuliani 8
McCain -4
Thompson -7
Paul -14
Huckabee -16
Hunter -19
Tancredo -21
Romney -21
Cox -21
Brownback -26

Apparently I do not disagree with any of Gravel's positions. I don't even know who that is.
As far as Kucinich, I think I remember reading about him once and being surprised that I agreed with most of his positions. But then I realized that he could never be president simply because of his appearance. And the fact that he's from Cleveland. Haha.

I do not disagree with any of Gravel's positions, either! Weirdly, I disagree with Clinton on more topics than Obama, but the script gives the edge to Clinton for reasons unknown. Now I'm a bit disappointed in the script.
I donated money to Obama already because I like him and want him to win the primary.

Unfortunately, I don't appear to agree with any of them, especially the ones with a snowball's chance of getting through the primaries. I was a little surprised by Tancredo scoring so low. In spite of his position on other issues, I'd probably vote for him.
Kucinich is a nut-job. Apparently, he screwed up in local government in Ohio pretty badly, then laid low lor a while until people forgot what a bad job he'd done.

He also thinks the survey is pure crap and doesn't attribute enough importance to certain issues (blah, blah, blah).

I dunno who to vote for yet... Why exactly would Kucinich win?
This was amusing, but still not enough to make me vote for him...

Oh, anyone read Interface by Neal Stephenson and Frederick George?

I have not read Interface.
The Kucinich link was posted ironically. I don't think he has a snowball's chance in your mama.
That's right, cuz your mama is hot.
At least, that's what I told her last night.
