Let the Intersphere Choose Your Presidential Candidate

Is the Presidential primary field already too muddled for you? Can't watch the soundbites candidates are putting out on Youtube (unless they're Republican candidates, of course)?

Why not let the Intersphere decide the ideal candidate for you?

Using the publicly available information from 2decide.com (an awesome resource in its own right), Matt Waterman has put together an excellent tool that allows you to input your opinion on twenty five "hot topic" issues, as well as how important that issue is to you, and outputs your alignment with all the current candidates for the position of "The Commander Guy". (click the picture to check it out)

Not surprisingly, we find ourselves mostly aligned with Kucinich (69 points, only disagreeing on "No Child Left Behind") and Gravel (58 points with no disagreements---gotta love that Gravel).

The real shocker came, though, when we discovered that the front runners are truly neck in neck for us as well. While Obama scored 38 points, Edwards and Clinton were both tied with 37 points.

Unfortunately, the Intersphere can't do all your heavy lifting for you. Once you get your score, it's up to you to weight the pros and cons of each of the issues with which you find yourself in disagreement with the candidates.

As a quick aside, apparently Duncan Hunter is the devil himself with minus 71 points.
