I've been following the US Primaries with some interest. 

Would you like to know whose views you most agree with? You can take an interesting quiz here on GoToQuiz which matches you against the contenders.

This was my match list.

96% Dennis Kucinich
93% Mike Gravel
85% Chris Dodd
84% John Edwards
83% Barack Obama
81% Hillary Clinton
79% Joe Biden
75% Bill Richardson
37% Rudy Giuliani
31% Ron Paul
29% John McCain
16% Mike Huckabee
16% Mitt Romney
14% Tom Tancredo
7% Fred Thompson

Most of these are either out of the running, or no-hopers, so we are really only left with Obama or Clinton for the Democrats and McCain or Romney for the Republicans.

I'm pleased to say that my best match of these four is the person I have been supporting - Barack Obama. But Hillary Clinton is also pretty close, which also backs my position that I'd be more than happy with either of them in the White House.

Someone has just reminded me that the political colours in the US don't match ours. Democrats are closest to Liberal Democrats or New Labour so we'd recognise them better in gold or red, whilst Republicans are closest to Conservatives.
