These quizzes are only good for a cursory look at the candidates and the issues, nonetheless they are interesting and good starting points regarding who to look at.
It's interesting to look at only one issue at a time too, especially since the quiz doesn't allow you to add weight to issues.
Environmentally - a very important issue IMO - I'm right on top of Edwards (Yet, oddly, when I do the "compare candidate with your issues" thing, Edwards matches me 83% and the other 3 Democrats match me 92%, so I don't know what's up with that.)
On gun control, I'm closest to Bill Richardson among the Democrats.
On Iraq, I'm halfway in between Ron Paul and Clinton/Obama/Edwards.
On the economy, I'm right on top of Richardson...poking him in the forehead.
On income, I'm picking Obama's nose.
National security...I'm apparently too far left to be near anyone, but I suppose it looks like I'm closest to Richardson.
On family, I'm also at the most liberal end, closest to Obama.
Immigration, I'm slightly more liberal than Richardson.
Health care, I'm left but not quite left enough to be on any of the Democratic candidates, mainly because I don't think we should force companies to provide health care but I do think health care should be guaranteed to all Americans.
Law and order, I'm way up in the top left corner, away from any of the candidates. Economically, I'm right on par with Edwards when it comes to law and order, but socially I'm closest to Paul.
On education, I'm halfway between Clinton and Obama, who are both very liberal socially on education, but Obama is slightly conservative economically and Clinton is quite liberal. (Interesting to note that Richardson is equally as liberal as Clinton when it comes to the economics of education, but he is dead center socially.)
Finally, on terrorism, I am again picking Obama's nose, who is apparently slightly more liberal than Paul (probably because he's willing to speak with Iran I guess).
I still haven't decided yet who I will vote for in the primaries.
