First, I think that test has far few questions to really determine political idealogies...the issues that matter the most to me and shape my political beliefs weren't even addressed.

Moving along, I agree with Bill...you should really look at the issues or the stances of the candidate rather than simply voting party line. Especially since it is known that most people inherit our political stances from one's parents, you should know what you're voting for instead of being just brought up that way.

I'm a registered Democrat and am very active in the Bruin Democrats here at UCLA but I consider myself more moderate and admit that I'm conservative on some issues like <gasp> abortion. That's why its important that I get both sides and try to find unbiased information about who the candidates are and the various propositions, etc. I've done my homework, sheesh, I mean I'm a poli sci major and overall I do find myself having more incommon with the democratic party (and no, its not because i'm a female minority, i grew up in a very conservative white suburb and my family's uppermiddle class and my dad is conservative) and will vote for Gray Davis in a week.

Oh, and just to brag and I'm still very giddy, I went to a "get out the vote" rally yesterday night and I saw Gray Davis & Martin Sheen and I was only a foot away from Bill Clinton!!!!!!! I'm still on cloud nine
