I fiddled with it a little, since a good number of the questions are simplified more than seems right or reasonable.
Iriginally I got this. I thought the clean split was weird since I had assigned moderate importance to some "righty" opinions like gun rights.

66% Dodd
63% Richardson
58% Clinton
57% Gravel
57% Obama
57% Edwards
54% Huckabee
50% Giuliani
50% Kucinich
49% Biden
47% Paul
47% McCain
46% Tancredo
35% Romney
34% Thompson
Then I lowered the importance of Roe v Wade, increased the importance of having an exit plan, and swapped my immigration answer (since both were wrong anyway) and ended up with this:

62% Dodd
61% Tancredo
59% Paul
57% Richardson
57% Huckabee
53% Clinton
52% Giuliani
52% Edwards
52% Obama
50% Gravel
49% Romney
49% McCain
48% Thompson
44% Biden
43% Kucinich

I was surprised that a quiz with so many ham-fisted choices (citizenship or deportation, and that's it?) would actually dedicate a button to "Equal rights! Marriage for nobody!" That IS my favorite option, but I never hear it mentioned in the news media.

All in all, it's a stupid blog widget, meant for discussion rather than insight. I do like that it encourages random web users to think about the candidates along a continuum, rather than latch onto a single issue and/or lose interest in the race if their guy loses the primaries.
