Just as I thought: I'm with Fred.

There is also this political candidate quiz:
Select a Candidate 2008 (http://www.wqad.com/Global/link.asp?L=259460)

The quiz aligned me with Giuliani, Richardson and Thompson before moving any sliders

How did you two end end up with only a one person answer

The other close one for me was Rudy.

It gave 3 for me:
Ron Paul
Fred Thompson
Mitt Romney

I already know I would not vote for Mitt. He tries too much to speak out both sides of his mouth.

How did you two end end up with only a one person answer


There wasn't. It just put Thompson ahead, with Romney being the next closest.

I was surprised; my views agree most closely with Chris Dodd and John Edwards. I see why from reading the candidate's summary on the issues. I'm kind of a social moderate to conservative, not interested in marriage and abortion being legislated in the Constitution and Amendments, though these are not dealbreakers for me. I don't vote one issue.

My fav is Joe Biden, but I don't agree with him about breaking up Iraq. I think I'm going to have to change my preference based on this quiz.

Thanks for the interesting post!

Most welcome, Choux.

I took the quizz last week . Initially it put me in the Huckabee camp but I looked at the qualifiers a little more closely and I'm with Fred. I'll take a Fred /Rudy or Rudy /Fred ticket gladly .

DC , Interesting that Richardson was in that bracket . I've said for a while he was the most qualified Dem.

I finally got through to the first quiz you recommended, and I got a slightly different result.

First, Joe Biden. :)Second and third and fourth(tied) Chris Dodd and John Edwards and Barak Obama.

So, I don't have to change who I prefer as a candidate. Biden is my candidate, and has been for months! :):):)


TWO great quizzes!

I don't like the answers for the multiple choice I need the option none of the above and all of the above added to that quiz. I got all republicans Mike Huckabee, Tom Tancredo and Mitt Romney. I don't think I like any of the candidates though I think I might have to vote third party.

Rudi giuliani, dennis kucinich,mitt romney, Is that good

Fred Thompson comes high on the list on the 2nd test too. That was kind of fun. I do like Thompson.

... but where is Pat Buchanan when we need him? :D

Throw stuff. I'm ducking behind a wall :p

Second quiz posted resulted in Mike Huckabee





Bobby

Fred Thompson, Chris Todd, Barack Obama.

Thanks for the link Shy! And thank all of you sharing your results. :)

It gave me 3? Without moving the sliders.
Rudy, ron paul, then richardson [huh?]


Can you imagine Rudy saying we need to go kick some butt and get the job done, and his vp saying "what war?"

For me national security trumps my libertarian tendencies [ sic ]

Notice that there where no abortion, gun control questions and that it only gave you a limited number of choices.

Nice test though, Shy..


Grace and Peace

tomder55 agrees: that's almost an impossible grouping .

Why?

Because Dennis Kucinich 's positions are almost across the board diametrically different than those of either Guiliani's and Romney's .

I wrote a lengthy comparison of their positions but askme told me it was too long. Most of the info . Can be obtained by utilizing this site .

COMPARISON OF POSITIONS 2008 AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES SelectSmart.com| President Candidates: Joe Biden, Elaine Brown, Michael Bloomberg Sam Brownback, Wesley Clark, Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Jim Gilmore, Newt Gingrich, Rudy G (http://www.selectsmart.com/president/2008/comparethem.html)

Kuchinch represents the extreme left in his own party . Rudy and Romney are alternately hugging the right and straddling the center .

Rudy was my no one, kuch no 2, hmmmmm

Thank you, Tom, for that link. I did that quiz and McCain came out on top with 55%.

Hmmm, very interesting. I thought the second exercise was more accurate. I didn't care for some of the choices/framing in the USA Today version. Nevertheless, here's the result for me:

USA Today: Rudy, Huckabee and Romney
Select a candidate: Hunter, Thompson and somehow, McCain

I'd take some form of a Rudy/Hunter/Thompson/Huckabee ticket. Not surprisingly, the bottom of the ticket on the second was Kucinich, Hillary and Dodd, with 1 point. I'm not sure how he got that point...

Steve

That was fun even though there were some questions I didn't know how best to answer because I'm not a US citizen. Took a stab at it for fun and come up with;
Clinton
Romney
Giuliani

That was without Sliders. Obama came up on top when I adjusted the sliders.

Holy cow, I can't imagine what combination of answers one could give to have Clinton come up #1 and Romney #2. Those two are about as far apart as any two candidates.


Go Ron Paul!!!

Well I figured I would take the quiz even though I am canadian.

Sam Brownback,
Mitt Romney,
Dennis Kucinich

Polls aside, what the candidates say they stand for is important, but it is even more important to find out whether they MEAN what they say! Reminded of the story about the soul who died and was being shown Heaven and Hell. At heaven there was a plain gate with one angel attendant and a road leading to somewhere in the distance. At Hell, there were lots of bright lights, a golf course, an extravagant party. The soul chose Hell. When he arrived the following day, all he found was a desert, heat, and biting insects. When he asked where all the nice things were, and what caused the difference, he was informed that he had voted yesterday.
