Cool political quiz that I found on Facebook:

Try this short quiz to see which 2012 presidential candidate you side with...

My results weren't surprising. I side the most with Jill Stein, the Green Party Candidate. A progressive liberal. But Barack is next in line at 74%, and I'll vote for him, because Jill doesn't have a chance in hell. I don't really agree with Romney on anything - but the fact that he doesn't want to regulate the internet.

What? You knew I was liberal, right? More moderate than my brother, clearly, but progressive and far more liberal than my workplace. I only talk about politics online and with people at church.

That was an interesting poll, thanks for posting it. I got Jill Stein followed closely by Obama as well. I agree with Romney 11% of the time. Interestingly, I also agree with Texas voters 59% of the time, which goes to show you that Texas isn't quite as conservative as people like to think. Well, the Texans taking that poll, anyway, which probably skews young and not voting. Also, Obama is a left-leaning centrist, he's not much of a liberal. He appears liberal because the current group of conservatives is so radical.

I was surprised by how many New Yorker's agreed with my choices. And it also surprises me how many Texans do.

You're right about Obama, he is what I like to call a moderate conservative.
Or left-leaning conservative. He's not really a progressive or a liberal.
I'm trying to remember the last centrist Republican candidate.
