For people like me, who often have no idea where to even start thinking about politics, this was a nice little quiz. Nice, at least, to give me an idea of where to start researching (and they have helpful informative links! Woo!). Unfortunately, it says that even if your highest scoring candidate is in the 80’s or below, their actions in office will likely disappoint more often than not. Doh!! >_<

i’d be careful about basing decisions on a poll like that, as they tend to be somewhat one-sided. many of the questions on that don’t really have answers that are coming from all sides…
I realize that, and there were also several critical issues missing from the poll, like candidates take on the arts.
My point is, however, that for someone like me who has NO idea where to start looking, this is a nice place to start.
