Who would I choose?
Based on: http://www.selectsmart.com/president/2008.html – a decent survey of issues (mainly US ones, but still)
1. Theoretical Ideal Candidate (100 %) (she’s even an atheist!)
2. Dennis Kucinich (89 %)
3. Barack Obama (85 %)
4. Alan Augustson (campaign suspended) (82 %)
5. Joseph Biden (80 %)
6. Hillary Clinton (77 %)
7. Christopher Dodd (75 %)
8. Wesley Clark (not announced) (75 %)
9. John Edwards (72 %)
10. Al Gore (not announced) (71 %)
11. Michael Bloomberg (not announced) (69 %)
12. Mike Gravel (66 %)
13. Bill Richardson (60 %)
14. Elaine Brown (48 %)
15. Ron Paul (44 %)
16. Kent McManigal (campaign suspended) (38 %)
17. Rudolph Giuliani (30 %)
18. Mike Huckabee (28 %)
19. John McCain (24 %)
20. Tommy Thompson (21 %)
21. Mitt Romney (17 %)
22. Chuck Hagel (not announced) (17 %)
23. Sam Brownback (14 %)
24. Newt Gingrich (not announced) (12 %)
25. Tom Tancredo (9 %)
26. Fred Thompson (not announced) (9 %)
27. Duncan Hunter (7 %)
28. Jim Gilmore (withdrawn) (5 %)
After you finish the survey you can look through a comparison chart of the candidates. I have to agree with it, Kucinich is my favourite, Obama’s against gay marriage (not civil unions though) and has a few other slip but is overall decent. So let’s see the Democrats, and then all Americans elect Kucinich for 2008.
