A former colleague who is ex-military and who has spent many months in Iraq doing contract security work sent this link.

It is an 11-question quiz designed to let you know whom you SHOULD vote for for president in 2008.

I'm leaning strong towards Edwards and the results surprised me a bit, but because of the lack of nuance in the up/down, black/white, for/against nature of the questions and choices for answers, I'm not surprised.

There also is no way to factor in such things as a voter's opposition to the idea of political dynasties, the gulf between a candidate's beliefs and his/her actual voting record, and a way to verify the pro/con positions ascribed to the top contenders.

My winger buddy, who lists Richardson as his dark horse candidate (!) ended up having to take it twice to get answers closer to his preferences. Here's what ended up in the top tier on his first, then second attempts:

Paul
Giuliani
McCain
Hunter
Thompson
(He said would vote for none of the above)

Giuliani
Biden
Hunter
Edwards
Richardson

Now, by contrast, my results were:

Kucinich 61
Dodd 51
Obama 48
Clinton 48
Gravel 48
Richardson 48
Edwards 46 *(my preferred candidate)
Biden 36
Giuliani 32
Paul 22
Romney 17
McCain 7
Hunter 5
Huckabee 3

Post your results!!
