21. Hagelin, John - Natural Law (6%)
22. Bush, George W. - US President (2%)
23. Phillips, Howard - Constitution (0%)
24. Vilsack, Governor. Tom IA - Democrat (-2%)
25. Buchanan, Patrick J. – Reform/Republican (-3%)
26. LaRouche, Lyndon H. Jr. - Democrat (-6%)
27. Clark, Retired Army General Wesley K "Wes" Arkansas - Democrat (-6%)
At the moment, selectors aside, I'm leaning toward Gov. Dean; I'll note that one of the reasons I think he's a good choice is his support for gay rights, which wasn't mentioned anywhere in the survey. Also, I don't care what he says, I don't trust Lieberman at this point; ditto for Sharpton. I'm also curious about how they come up with a scale that runs from 100% to (at least) −6% rather than stopping at zero.
(This list includes some people I've never heard of, and generic candidates of random parties whose actual positions may be different than guessed. Also, while I think highly of Sen. Leahy, this is the first I've seen suggested that he might be running for president.)
