I got a 83/75/8 the first time I did it which is a good indicator of why I don't like Republican policy in general.
Let me know how you do. I'm interested in how others tend to score on this.
I think it is good to share this link with as many people as possible.
For the matching, this is the description:
"Take a stand on some of the major issues facing our nation.
You don't have to answer every question - you can just answer the ones that are important to you. The sum of your answers will determine the best candidate for you.
The questions were devised in consultation with TIME and the answers were compiled by TIME and the candidates' campaigns. Once the primary elections have concluded, we'll add third-party candidates to President Match. "
http://www.selectsmart.com/president/ also has a good pres match.
It seems to me like they put the 3 least important for government issues at the top of the list. Abortion, Gayness, and Religion. They basically all fall into religion imho. And since people tend to blindly follow good religious theory rather than good politics, this is a bad thing. The thing is, it's a non-issue most of the time anyway. Barak Obama and John Edwards hit this point pretty good and I really hate the extent of blind negativity being used by the Bush camp.
