Presidential Candidate Match Maker

[Oscar]

Try it out. I was suprised who I got matched with [:(]

Clinton... lame.

Seeing as it was being run by faux news, I was wary, but it came out all right. Ron Paul was at ~60%, with Clinton being a distant second for some reason (?).

Funny how there are NO questions strictly on the economy, aside from a blurb about "free trade," though one might argue over what exactly that means.

Jayman, post who it picked for you. The thing you copied and pasted wont work for you cuz it's html, what you copied and pasted is the thing I posted in my first post [:)] So just tell us who it picked for you, Hillary? [:D]

[jayman]

no, it was like all of them..

Edwards... Edwards!?! Seriously!? I don't like him at all!

[Oscar]

they all had the same percentages for you jayman?

Ron Paul makes me homicidal.

It resized my browser. Every site that resizes it should go offline.

Heh, all the Dems were at the bottom on my list. MaCain was my highest. Lowest 2 were Clinton and Obama.

My top 3 were

Obama
Clinton
Edwards

Clinton and Edwards were tied at 45%
Obama at 43%

seems that none of them match up with me even halfway!

Odd that Mike Gravel showed up. I had never even heard of him... so I looked him up. WOW, I could probably support this guy more than all the other ones combined, but he doesn't have tons of money, so he won't even end up on the ballot here in Tx. That sucks.

I will say that he's got some loony ideas, but the main issues that are important to me, he's pretty much in line.

33% was my highest, 2 others were 33%, I can't remember who it was, but I was REALLY surprised to find out that the person that I actually started to like and heard good things about was the BOTTOM of my list.

Clinton - 53%
Gravel - 50%
Obama - 49%

Most of the dems were near 50%, and most of the republicans were down between 25% and 10%. No surprises there.

Obama's bobble head doesn't look much different from him in person.

Now give me moment while I climb on my soapbox.

I find it a bit distressing that people don't know who all the candidates are or that they are even running. I can't help but question the proccess of selection for this site or the matching of candidates but, with so many people upset that it matched them to someone they don't support, it sort of says that even as important an election as this year's, people have not taken the time to research the candidates. It's important to find out not only where they stand but, also how they plan to impliment the changes they are promising. The best of intentions or most moving speeches mean nothing without a plausible plan to back it up. I urge everyone to take the time to really research every candidate and not vote based on just the headlines, clebrity endorsments, or the opinion of peers.

You mean like, "don't just vote for someone because they are republican"? If that were the case, George Bush would have never been elected since his approval rating is so habitually low.

Wersig,

Don't underestimate the power of the South. Never ever do that. No matter how screwed up or dumb something may seem, it is a possibility.

Just for fun: Mccain

[coolbeans326]

All of them was were 25% or lower... not even close. But Mclain was at the top followed by Ron Paul.. Obama, Edwards, and Clinton at the bottom.

Hmm, They seemed to have just matched me with this picture.

heres my photoshop take on it..

Let's see here...40% McCain, 38%Huckabee, and 38%Romney. Seems pretty correct for my take on things.

While I doubt in the end my guy will have a chance (Huck), I was happy to see he got the support of 18 of my home states delegates (WV).
