Okay, I've always wanted to make a website where you could rate issues that are important to you and see the candidates that agree with your views. I'd start it for a presidental election, and expand it to include local elections too. Once place where you can see what the candidates have to say. However, while I have a working model in my head, I don't have the programming knowledge. Plus, you'd never get most candidates to say one way or the other what they really mean.

But then my uncle turned me onto something that MN public radio came up with.. Gotta love public radio!!! =]

When I took it, only 1 candidate got a 14. Then it was a five-way tie at 11. Followed by everyone else at 1 or 2. Some of the answers I hadn't heard of before, so I may have to do some research and take it again... We'll see. =]

You might also like the candidate matrix at MSNBC. It doesn't give you a ranked list, but it shows you hot and cold spots, issue by issue.

This was a good find. I haven't been at all good with following the candidates, so I've been feeling kind of lost. I received some good results and it certainly confirmed my party choice. I wish I heard of some of these people though!

thanks! it confirmed a lot of what i already knew, but also showed me a few things i was completely unaware of. my high candidate was 64 and i had 3 in the fifties. i'm thinking a career in politics perhaps.....?
