Liberty Alone

I prefer this quiz at selectsmart.
It asks more varied questions and has more possible answers.

There’s still some questions which I have to answer neither on, but it seems to interpret that close to what I mean.

The top results and are:

1. Kent McManigal (campaign suspended) [Libertarian] (84%)
2. Ron Paul [Republican] (72%)
3. Christopher Dodd (withdrawn) [Democrat] (66%)
4. John McCain [R] (64%)
5. Newt Gingrich (says he will not run) [R] (61%)
6. Barack Obama [D] (56%)
7. Sam Brownback [R] (withdrawn, endorsed McCain) (56%)
8. Chuck Hagel (not running) [R] (56%)
9. Alan Keyes [R] (56%)
10. Dennis Kucinich [D] (55%)

The other main candidates come in with:

• Mitt Romney [R] (49%)
• Rudolph Giuliani [R] (46%)
• Fred Thompson [R] (46%)
• Bill Richardson [D] (45%)
• Hillary Clinton [D] (42%)
• John Edwards [D] (39%)
• Mike Huckabee [R] (28%)

Its quite different to the other one. Rightly putting Huckabee at the bottom (only Elaine Brown a Green Party candidate comes below him - probably because of crackpot economics).
It fails to account for personality liking in my rankings, yet still comes up with similar to my own views. If I were voting in Republican primaries I probably would vote Ron Paul in the vain hope I could get the Republicans to change.
I’m not sure where a Democrat vote would go. The liberals in the Democrats - the Democratic Freedom Caucus - endorses Bill Richardson, who has reasonable positions (if a bit statist for my tastes). I would be voting to stop Hillary though (as the Democratic Freedom Caucus of New Hampshire* advocates) so Obama would probably be my choice on that basis.

* I’m not sure if they’re affiliated with the National DFC - the national site makes no mention of them
