I&#8217;m just curious what those 3% could be (and amused that Lane scored a 7% compatibility with Bush &#8212; I&#8217;m 4% less compatible with our President than Lane is, or something like that)!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, just another way to take a look at the current crop of Democratic candidates and see who might fit you best.
