Political Comparison Shopping

The Slumbering Giant of Public Opinion, also known affectionately as my dear friend Celia, sent me this fun quiz today. Basically, it is a table to see where the presidential candidates stand on most issues. The more they agree with you, the more points they get.
Everything was coming up roses until I looked at the results (the items listed below are the issues we disagree about):

Kucinich 88 YEP, AND HE'S NEVER GOING TO WIN.
Iran Sanctions

Gravel 68 NEVER HEARD OF HIM. NOT A GOOD SIGN.
Iran Sanctions

THE FOLLOWING THREE IS WHAT I CALL THE COALITION OF THE SPINELESS, AND ONE OF THEM IS GOING TO WIN THE PRIMARIES. NOTICE THE GULF BETWEEN KUCINICH'S STANDINGS AND THESE. IT'S VERY SCARY TO ME.

Edwards 52
Death Penalty, Patriot Act, Iran - Military Action, Same-Sex Marriage

Clinton 52
Death Penalty, Patriot Act, Border Fence, Iran - Military Action, Same-Sex Marriage

Obama 51
Patriot Act, Border Fence, Same-Sex Marriage

THESE NEXT THREE DON'T REALLY COUNT.

Richardson 45
Death Penalty, Assault Weapons Ban, Patriot Act, Iran - Military Action, Same-Sex Marriage

Dodd 44
Death Penalty, Patriot Act, Border Fence, Iran - Military Action

Biden 42
Death Penalty, Patriot Act, Border Fence, Same-Sex Marriage

SO I MAY END UP VOTING FOR RON PAUL, I KID YOU NOT.
Paul -5
McCain -9
Giuliani -17
Thompson -28
Cox -33
Brownback -49
Huckabee -53
Romney -70
Hunter -77
Tancredo -83
