Green: 97%
Democrat: 96%
Libertarian: 39% (where's my lye soap?!)
Republican: 1%

And apparently I mesh with Jill Stein by 88%, compared with 84% for Obama... and 2% for Romney with whom I share "no major issues"

...And I just noticed that I can actually choose different answers! and there are hidden questions... Well, let's see if this changes anything...

Democrat: 87%
Green: 81%
Libertarian: 13% (oh thank you Tengri)
Republican: 1%

Candidate-wise, I'm with Jill Stein 88% of the time, Obama 82% of hte time, and Rocky Anderson 81%. Romney and Virgil Goode both drop to 0%, yippee!

So remember, fill out all the questions and check the "choose other answers" option!

I seem to be just a couple points in favor of Jill Stein. (91% to 89% Jill over Barack)


So what Green party website is this?


Because I can say with a high degree of certainty I would not vote Green Party. That 2% doesn't worry me too much. I like Barack Obama.

*I have a small quibble with them saying that adding your own custom stance would lower the accuracy of your score, because there were a couple that I would have liked to have added my own custom stance. I guess that in order to match up to the politicians listed, that would have made it harder to score the results though.
