What issues would the "perfect" candidate support ??

He would be pro-choice? He would be anti-war? He would be pro-labor? He would support Affirmative Action? He would support raising taxes on the wealthy? He would support national healthcare? He would support a smaller defense budget and withdrawal from Iraq? He would support gay marriage? He would wholeheartedly support the UN?

Would he/she win or lose ?

And what other issues would the "perfect" candidate support?
