Interesting website. The guy who I got 100% for (brownback) doesn't represent me 100%. His BIO even goes against some of the answers I gave.

I wonder why he got 100%?

Not really sure this is very accurate.

Hillary shows up on my list so there is something wrong if she isn't dead last.

Same with McCain.

Ack. I don't care. Newt won't get my vote.

A very poorly written survey, in my opinion. Many of the issues were worded in such a way that I couldn't agree with either choice, being forced repeatedly to choose "Neither". This best this will give you is some idea of the ideology of the candidates, i.e. who's worth a closer look. On the other hand, the comparison tool at

http://www.selectsmart.com/president/2008/comparethem.html

was much more helpful in seeing where the candidates really stand on most of the key issues. So, the survey will get you in the ball park, while the comparison tool will help you refine your choice. The only thing I would have liked to see is more info on voting/veto records of those candidates.
