Candidate Match Game

There are many match your views to a candidate surveys on the Internet, and USAToday offers an oddly fun-looking one (bright USAToday colors, Hasbro interactivity) that breaks our complex social landscape down to 12 issues. (But they do call it a "game" afterall) I don't have an objection to  distilling things down to merely 12, but I wonder what a version of this would look like if it were truly comprehensive. USAToday however, is the king of distillation, and I don't fault them for that as there is utility in this. I was surprised to see a few of my answers leaning more into conservative McCain territory. For example, I support (elective, not compulsory) private investment accounts as part of Social Security, mainly because self-directed investing in public markets is good, this country's debt based on Republican fiscal policies is bad). Instructive. Maybe Obama should hang out more with the young hedge fund managers who are supporting him lately.
