My results:
Ron Paul - 63%
John McCain - 57%
Mike Gravel - 53%
I think these types of quizzes can be useful to the uninformed voter as a tool to narrow down the candidates to those they may be interested in. That way they will (hopefully) go find out more about those they have common beliefs with. I agree with Timmy that some question may have been misleading and it was difficult to answer some of them.
Talking to people in SF, I've realized more people than I previously thought have no idea what the candidates platforms are but still enthusiastically support a specific candidate. Everyone out here either supports Obama or Clinton but actually doesn't know the difference between the two candidates. Beyond that, they actually have no idea the difference between Obama or Clinton and McCain! When you ask if them if they support universal health care or allowing immigrants to become citizens their opinions are very different than the candidate they are supporting. Granted, I doubt anyone fully agrees with any one candidate on all matters. It seems like there are a lot of "bandwagon fans" out here in the sense that they will support whoever is most popular at the time with their friends, city, or country.
Congratulations, Dr. Plotz!
