My candidate … probably

At Dave N.’s suggestion, I re-ran this “Who’s your ideal candidate?” test, which looks at policy positions both of the candidates and of my own (positions and weighting).

	1.	Theoretical Ideal Candidate   (100%)
	2.	Hillary Clinton   (78%)  Information link
	3.	Joseph Biden   (76%)  Information link
	4.	Bill Richardson   (73%)  Information link
	5.	Barack Obama   (70%)  Information link
	6.	Dennis Kucinich   (70%)  Information link
	7.	Michael Bloomberg (says he will not run)   (69%)  Information link
	8.	Al Gore (not announced)   (68%)  Information link
	9.	John Edwards   (68%)  Information link
	10.	Wesley Clark (not running, endorsed Clinton)   (67%)  Information link
	11.	Christopher Dodd   (64%)  Information link
	12.	Alan Augustson (campaign suspended)   (64%)  Information link
	13.	Mike Gravel   (60%)  Information link
	14.	John McCain   (44%)  Information link
	15.	Ron Paul   (42%)  Information link
	16.	Kent McManigal (campaign suspended)   (41%)  Information link
	17.	Mike Huckabee   (40%)  Information link
	18.	Mitt Romney &n bsp; (38%)  Information link
	19.	Rudolph Giuliani   (38%)  Information link
	20.	Tommy Thompson (withdrawn, endorsed Giuliani)   (35%)  Information link
	21.	Elaine Brown   (32%)  Information link
	22.	Newt Gingrich (says he will not run)   (31%)  Information link
	23.	Alan Keyes   (30%)  Information link
	24.	Chuck Hagel (not running)   (30%)  Information link
	25.	Sam Brownback (withdrawn, endorsed McCain)   (28%)  Information link
	26.	Tom Tancredo   (26%)  Information link
	27.	Fred Thompson   (24%)  Information link
	28.	Duncan Hunter   (19%)  Information link
	29.	Jim Gilmore (withdrawn)   (18%)  Information link
	30.	Stephen Colbert (campaign ended)   (16%)  Information link

The results haven’t changed that much from my original take.  Clinton has bumped Biden as the top runner for me, but both remain are pretty close.
