Polls suggest Americans are concerned primarily with a few key issues in the 2008 presidential election. USA TODAY researched candidate positions on those top issues — Iraq, immigration and health care — as well as a few others that may influence the election. We then came up with 11 multiple-choice questions that would help differentiate the candidates and their stances.
As you answer the questions, you can roll over each color bar below the candidates' heads to find background on their positions. Your answers are matched with the positions of the presidential hopefuls to reveal the candidate (or candidates) closest to your views. The sliders on the right allow you to assign relative weights to match the importance that you place on each issue.
USA TODAY welcomes your feedback. Let us know in the comments below how you fared, which candidate aligns with you and how you liked the game.

I'm most like Gravel, Kucinich, and Biden. Two who dropped out a while ago, and one who has less chance than Frosty in hell.
It's kinda funny that I line up more with McCain and Romney than the other Democratic candidates, according to this. And to Hillary far more than Obama.
In other words, this is a load of shit. Obama all the way. (If nothing else, a candidate who isn't so fucking partisan is a nice change.)
*--For behavior unbecoming anyone, perpetrated in real time over an extended--AH, FUCK IT! MORE MALIBU, BITCHES!!
Anyone else notice how crazy some of the questions are?
Like, do I pick that we should never have gone into Iraq, or that we never should've gone into Iraq because there were no WMD's? Isn't that the same thing?
Or the gay marriage thing. I don't care if they call it marriage or civil union. Same diff.
Or global warming. What, I'm supposed to pick one? Shouldn't we be doing like six or seven of the choices? (If you believe in global warming, I mean.)

Yeah, I didn't like the gay marriage or global warming questions either. I didn't like the choices on one of the immigration questions either.
I may not be liberal, but I don't care who gets married, civil unioned, or whatever they want to call it.
Maybe. Maybe you're right, anarky. But I don't need an apology for the lies. I don't care about the fictions they create to cover their crimes. I want them held accountable for what did happen. I want them to apologize for the truth.
Sometimes the only sane answer to an insane world is insanity.

well, when i moved the sliders on the right to weigh the issues more in my estimation of importance, obama was #1.
The poll at votechooser.com turned out to be more accurate for me. But if you really need these games to figure out who you should vote for, maybe you shouldn't be voting in the first place.

Same here, as I agreed with Obama for 9/10 questions, and he's who I'm planning on voting for (if he makes it through until November, which I'm sure he will).
