4. Harry Reid
5. Joe Biden
6. Jack Reed
7. Jim Jeffords

1. James Moran
2. Mark Udall
3. David Eugene Price
4. Cal Dooley
5. Tom Lantos
6. Jim Leach

11. Augh!
Dean was DEAD LAST in my rankings!!!!!

Behind Lieberman, even!

Clark was the highest candidate on the list that I would consider voting for, and he was 5th!!!!

Boxer, Durbin, Feingold, and Wellstone were my top 4 for senate.

My top matches for house were people I have never heard of.

Colin Powell was my best match for Bush's cabinet, and Mel Martinez was last, but Asscroft was third-from-last, so I figure I'm on the right track there.

Nader was my top political celebrity.

Wow, this is depressing....

Total 70% Ralph Nader
Total 60% Barack Obama
Total 60% Hillary Clinton
Total 53% Bill Clinton
Total 50% Arianna Huffington
Total 48% Jesse Ventura
Total 43% Colin Powell
Total 40% Bill Bradley
Total 38% Howard Dean
Total 28% Al Gore
Total 28% John McCain
Total 20% Dan Quayle
Total 18% Rush Limbaugh
Total 18% George Bush Sr.
Total 15% George W. Bush
Total 15% Ronald Reagan
Total 13% Pat Buchanan
Total 10% John Ashcroft

Considering that some of my political heroes are well below some people I can't freakin' stand...

17. My own home state Senator was #1 Dick Durbin!
Woohoo! If Obama were already in the Senate I'm sure he would be #2. Illinois kicks so much ass.

Next were Feingold, Boxer and Dayton.

24. Mine
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 07:39 PM by bush_is_wacko
Most closely matched w/ Joseph Lieberman.
Mark Dayton
Debbie Stabenow
John Corzine
Hillary Clinton
John Edwards
Bill Nelson
Charles Schumer
Russel Feingold
Barbara Boxer

My current home state senators are all named in the worst 10!

Now here's the funny part. I am a decendant of Oliver Ellsworth, 3rd Supreme Court Justice of the United States, Suggested name "United States" of America, Suggested the model for the House of Representatives, One of the five original drafters of the Constitution. I tested myself against the current Supreme Court Justices, and NONE of them are anywhere close to my beleifs. Ginsberg was the closest at 8% agreement!

House

Hinchley
Olver
Filner
Frank
Sanders
Solis
Woolsey
Payne
Lewis
Schakowsky
