He got number one right.

Why is fiorina so high?

I think Stossel doesn't see the whole NSA data-mining thing as being as big of a deal as Rand does, and that may play into him not minding Fiorina's Fascist talk about policing the internet. It's a stupid position to hold, but like everybody else, Stossel isn't perfect.

Here's his breakdown:
But basically, I rank presidential candidates on how much they want to micro-manage our lives, or involve us in dubious foreign wars. Those who recognize the harm done by state control and government overreach gain points.
One candidate got bonus points just for not being politically correct (you know which one).
