So i participated in this website and they ask you 24 questions including your stance on marjiuna, abortion, environmental issues, gay rights, etc. After submitting all my answers Barack Obama was my highest scoring candidate with 74% followed by Al Gore (not announced but I would definitely vote for him) (70%), Dennis Kucinich (never heard of him) (69%), and John Edwards (65%) with Hilary Clinton trailing at 10th place (56%) and Stephen Colbert at last place with 15%. This website let you pick how much of significance each issue has with you to better weight your decision. I have been considering Barack Obama lately and I'm glad to see this website reinforces. Of course, I will not only relay on this site. Only thing that sucks with this site is you don't know what position they oppose from you. If it was abortion, stem-cell research, or gay rights then I would not vote for them. Those issues are only a problem because of religious views and nothing else. Who has the right to tell a girl that she has to have a baby. Are they going to pay for her baby and personal trainer :) ? It is so stupid that the government thinks they have that right. We are already overpopulated as it is. Let people that can't bring a new life into a loving and stabile environment not have the kid. That simple. Gay rights is a tough on for me because I think there is nothing wrong with gay people and I think it is biological but i think civil unions are enough with the tax benefits. It shoud be the same as marriage but just called different. Stem cell is a major one because it saves lives. How simple. Why would anyone want to stop that? Human life is more important that some religious belief. Those issues are definitely the most important to me.
Howard Stern had some other good sites for this too if you want to check him out
