If you are unsure who to vote for, you may want to play this Candidate Match Game

See:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/candidate-match-game.htm

This might help you see through some of the confusion as to where the candidates stand on all the issues.
And it may surprise you like it did me.

1. here is another one

very straight forward the auther even included the source which i looked through, seems pretty genuine, he just gave a value to each of the catagories and matched that value he gave to each candidate and compares the values based on catagories, seems pretty on the mark.

im taking your test right now here are some interesting observations

* only dennis and gravel moved when i answered gay marraige should be considered the same as marraige between a man and a women

* 1: dennis kucinich
2: mike gravel
3: mitt romney (WTF?)

2. Useful, but there's nothing at all about women's rights...

...and very little about minority issues...and I didn't like any of the solutions presented for the illegal immigration question, so I just had to pick the one I hated the least. There was also nothing about education.

I'm glad I took the test, though I wasn't particularly surprised with the result, but I think it definitely needs to be broadened to more accurately reflect the views of individuals vs. the candidates.

7. I think this might be because everyone knows where Candidates stand on this issue

Democrats support them while Republicans do not, except for Guilliani.
