I thought you all would be interested in an online tool (created for the capitalist tool, Forbes Magazine) that helps you figure what Democratic or Republican candidate is most in-line with your beliefs and ideals:

http://www.forbes.com/candidates

Skip the intro ad, and answer the questions that follow. It's pretty nifty, even if it doesn't include Green Party candidates like Jared Ball (http://www.voxunion.com/jaredball/) or Kent Mesplay (http://mesplay.org/).

My ideal candidates are Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel, and John Edwards.

What a surprise. :-)
