Oh yeah, Theoretical Ideal Candidate was my number 1 to...but I have no way to differentiate that one from HMO's and BNR's.

1. Stephen Colbert (88%)

3. Tom Tancredo (82%)
4. Chuck Hagel (80%)
5. Alan Keyes (76%)
6. Sam Brownback (76%)
7. Mitt Romney (73%)
8. Jim Gilmore (71%)
9. John McCain (65%)
