There are hundreds of political quizzes out there. Most of them are crap.
Glassbooth raises the bar. It does this by asking first which issues you care about, then finding out where you stand on those issues, and finally matching the views of current politicians against yours. It’s a specialized domain application–they only consider people running for president in 2008–but it works pretty well.
The best part about this is that it’s deeply linked; it shows the facts which back up its appraisal of the politicians’ opinions on each issue, as well as explaining in clear and non-partisan terms what each issue really is.
If you know exactly who you’ll vote for this fall and why, you don’t need this. If on the other hand you have any lingering doubts about which candidate actually stands for what you personally believe in, this is worth looking at.
