Here are my first-pass, no changes or experimentation, results:

Jill Stein                88%
Barack Obama      88%
Rocky Anderson    73%
Gary Johnson        57%
Mitt Romney         53%

Idaho Voters          54%
American Voters   59%

Stephen King told a group of aspiring writers at Yale University that 
after they read something now published about which they were sure they 
could write better, at that point they should consider themselves 
aspiring writers. On other occasions, King has remarked that if a person 
gets a check for a piece of writing, and the check does not bounce when 
it is cashed, then that person is a writer.

If you are interested in public policy, and you have the impression that 
you could do a better job of governance than some of the now elected, 
you might receive some validation of your opinion of yourself by 
clicking around the map of states at the isidewith.com site. In addition 
to showing how the positions of the elected match with voters in 
particular states, the site indicates how your selections match the 
voters' preferences. If your percentage of agreement with a state's 
voters is higher than all other politicians listed there, perhaps you 
could do a better job than they.
