I don’t know, I think I like it better having had Dennis rather than a postmodern curmudgeon come out on top. :)

Can't say I'm terribly surprised.

You're the only one I've seen not to have Kucinich or gravel on top, with the other one 2nd or 3rd.

Possibly because I marked very few items at the extremes of the care/don't care spectrum?

For what it is worth, I thought the questions simplistically polarizing. Which is good for an online poll, but probably bad for political discourse.

Well, you've got them at the other end, which is sort of the same thing. Though given that you show much less difference between Democrats and Republicans in general, it would have been unsurprising if you didn't see K & G as being especially less or more represenative of your views than the others.

Good point, both at the bottom is much like both at the top. I was also moved to post because of the interwieving of Dem and Rep and the lesser split rather than a sharp divide.

If I thought that either of my top two could actually lead the country, I might well be happy voting for them. Obama may actually be the front-runner for my vote because I think there is a chance of breaking the dualism and villifying between the two parties.

McCain/Obama now there would be an interesting ticking. :-)
