Kucinich again

Last week I gave a shot at Presidential Candidate Selector and was surprised to find Dennis Kucinich topping the returned list. I just obtained a second opinion through Candidate Calculator (via Johan Ingerö) and was equally surprised. Kucinich on top again but this time closely followed by Obama with a substantial margin to Clinton and Edwards. I never even thought of Kucinich as a serious candidate but I guess I’ll just have to learn more about him.

Unlike the other test, this one had a pretty decent user interface. The questions were far too general, though. A number of topics are listed and you are asked if you support them, the options being yes, no and unsure. In real life things are usually a bit more complicated than that.

Here is what the test returned. I still miss the customary HTML code for displaying it.
