I took a rather fair and balanced survey for which 2008 presidential candidate would ideal. (I was initially researching their stances on Net Neutrality, but decided this would be interesting.)
The survey results are somewhat correct. I’m not as much of a liberal as the results might speculate — heck, I support unfettered interpretation of the Second Amendment and Abortion Rights — but it does paint a picture as to whom I respect more in the upcoming 2008 election.
