My results:
It's too bad the site doesn't show the candidates with whom we are most dissimilar. I'm certain Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton would top that chart.
ETA: Thanks Valarie for pointing out that I can find out how well I match up with other candidates. I have 58% similarity with Clinton, and 51% similarity with Giuliani (he's most dissimilar with my views).

Cool quiz. The 20 points thing was hard. I'm not sure mine was an accurate representation of my ideas.
BTW, you can actually see how you match up with all the candidates. On the far right there's a drop down menu. I didn't look at all mine, but I did check Rudy Guiliani and it was 40%.
Here were my results:
Mike Gravel 85% (I hardly know anything about him?)
Dennis Kucinich 84%
Barack Obama 83%
They were so close I thought I should list them all. Aside from the Mike Gravel, not a bit surprising.
Holy cow...Ron Paul? Say it ain't so.
I always vote gay rights first. Always. And would never support a candidate who didn't, so wow....I had no idea we were such worlds apart!
Well, you already know my results. I think I'll just keep it under my hat though.
Marriage equality IS important to me, don't get me wrong. But my biggest concern right now, by far, is the US Constitution, and all the abuses of the Constitution by Bush/Cheney. They've altered the balance of power so radically, and have vastly concentrated executive power. Worst case scenario from a constitutional perspective (and executive power) is a Rudy Giuliani or Hillary Clinton presidency. As far as gay issues go, I'm not impressed at all with Hillary. She won't even condemn her husband's signing of DOMA, for goodnesssakes. That's just unforgivable. She didn't read the FULL intelligence report on Iraq/WMD before enabling Bush/Cheney to go to war (also unforgivable).
One more thing, so long as the GOP uses gays as a wedge issue to scare people into voting for GOP candidates, I won't vote GOP. EVER. And I haven't.
Schwartzenegger insists the victims of the 2007 Southern California firestorm residing at Jack Murphy Stadium are happy.
First he calls Tonight Show host Jay Leno an "idiot". Then he drops this bomb.
If it were Gray Davis the gods would have their media attack him mercilessly for these mistakes. Together they may be enough to cost any other politician his career. But not Arnold Schwartzenegger.
They say he says makes suspect comments all the time, and they are all buried. And it is because they have BIG plans for him::::He is a tool who will be used to accomplish historical evil for the gods.
They say there is a sense of "unease" at the State Capital, like he doesn't belong there. It is because he doesn't. He is not American. Sadly this is an issue that is too readily discounted:::
He is not from the United States. His loyalties lie with a country that was the enemy of the United States a mere 65 years ago.
Just as we witnessed with Clinton in 1992 expect blacks to register and vote en masse for Schwartzenegger as well, a clue and a red flag.
Just as we haven't seen any more of that "Everybody is happy." idiocy from the Preditor so do we no longer hear anything of the possibility a firefighter started one if not more of these SoCal fires, buried forever.
Weight training, promotion of pharmeceuticals, desensitizing "guy flicks" all prove the name "Preditor" is warranted.
Ron Paul has been around here in Texas for many years. I've always thought of him as a bit of a loony.
If you think you live in East Jesus now, get Ron Paul in office and we all might end up living in East Jesus.
I agree with some of the things he says and he has an eloquent way of saying them, but be careful about Ron Paul.
Here's another perspective:

Never said I'd vote for Paul, just that I'm not surprised we align politically. I think he's great for the race. I like the fact that at the debates he feels no need (unlike Giuliani, Romney, McCain, et. al.) to prove his dick is bigger and meaner than the other guy's dick. In the end, they're all dicks.
