Or 71% of her, anyway.
The Daily Telegraph has launched a VoteMatch application for the candidates in the 2012 Republican primaries (minus John Huntsman for some reason).
Mind you, it might not work. Telegraph scribbler Tim Stanley took the test:
I’ll be honest and say that the answer I came up with was … Michele Bachmann. I’m surprised because I would have thought my views on foreign policy were unorthodox enough to put me in the Ron Paul camp. But I suspect that the part where I ranked my issues tilted the results towards the Minnesota Congresswoman. This election, it’s the economy, stupid.
For a person of my station, this is a humiliating result. I always did my best to stay a cut above the Middle American conservatives: did a fellowship at Harvard, went skiing in Aspen, made friends with a few of the richer Democrats, even donated a little money to reseed the golf club green. But, despite all this, the Daily Telegraph says that Michele Bachmann and me are ideological bedfellows. It seems this blue blood is a red neck after all.
And this Darwinian is a Creationist!

I’d love to meet this asshole in a bar.
How pathetic.
