Also, I hope Zack from Virginia (Mitahmin) takes the quiz. It would be cool to see his results. Is there an anarchist party?

Vote Smart gave me Jill Stein by a landslide, but with this one I ended up with Gary Johnson. I thought the questions were a little better on this one and gave more credit to how important an issue was to me.

Gary Johnson- 86%
Jill Stein- 74%
Rocky Anderson- 67%
Barack Obama- 55%
Mitt Romney- 37%

Obama will win. I am staking my entire reputation as a truth-teller and an authority on this board on this eventuality.

On a related note, this NY Times article has a Wurster character come to life:
Quote
The film is the work of Joel Gilbert, whose previous claims include having tracked down Elvis Presley in the witness protection program and discovering that Paul McCartney is in fact dead. (...) He also blamed the mainstream media for not looking deeper into the story he uncovered, telling The New York Times, “I hope you’re not angry or jealous that I beat you to it and might win the Pulitzer Prize.”
