Kucinich 100%
Dean / Kerry / Sharpton 95%
Clark 88%
Edwards 84%
Lieberman 75%
Bush 17%

I knew last summer that Kucinich was the right President for me. And that he had zero chance of being a contender. I feel somewhat reassured about Kerry, to whom I had been paying little attention. But I'm still not optomistic that Kerry would be the cause of much change in things I think are deeply wrong in the US.

Some questions I would like to have seen on the questionnaire, which probably weren't there because they're not significant enough matters of national debate:

Reduce Agricultural Subsidies?
Reduce Corporate Welfare?
U.S. Should Abide By Treaties Signed With Other Countries?
Roll Back Bush Executive Orders?
Shift War On Drugs Spending From Enforcement To Treatment?
Prison Release For Non-Violent Drug-Use Convicts?
Reduce Strategic Nuclear Arsenal?

The last three issues are relevant to me...and ones I hadn't thought of too much. A friend from Maine is visiting and preparing for if B. wins again. He wants to be able to grow his own food as he sees a being a int't teacher in anatomy/bodywork in the style of structural integration ending because he thinks that severe economic collapse (read depression) will occur if not environmental or war devastation. Scary to imagine and part of me fears he could be right.

When I took this survey (or a similar one), it also matched me with Kucinich. I do like a lot of his ideas, but for a while I was looking more at Dean. Now I'm not sure who I'll actually vote for, although Sharpton is definitely in the running...
