Pick Your Candidate

Before I even took this survey - I already knew who more closely mirrored my views. This survey confirmed my belief.. It is a fun little test that anyone can take - maybe you will be surprised.

Remember - we can't change things if we don't get involved!!!!!

Here is what the test says:


What do these results mean? The results are very simple. The table below lists the candidates in the order by which they most closely matched the criteria you just entered. Some of these candidates are no longer in the race. To the right of each candidate is a list of the items which you and the candidate explicitly disagreed upon and a list of the items that you expressed support or approval of but for which the candidate's position is unknown/other. Disagreements are not listed for candidates who have negative scores.

Well, I am surprised at my results, particularly that my numbers were so much lower than both of yours with your candidates. Sorry John, I am not voting for Kucinich. And Jim, Ron Paul is a long shot for me to vote for too. I think I have decided but I'm not telling and anyway I have until Feb 5th to change my mind again...

Oh and by the way, Ron Paul is running as a Republican, John. He appears on your list too.

I stand corrected - Ron Paul managed to score a 4 - "even a blind bird finds a worm"

However the rank - I will be with Jodi voting on Feb 5 (super tuesday...or is it super super tuesday, or super duper super tuesday?) I keep forgetting with all the shifts in the voting schedule.

OMG!!!John, you and I wave-length scary....OMG. Now, I can't claim numbers as high as yours in support of the candidates or as low for the ones that we know would be akin to voting for Bush again, but the order is the same.
Kucinich 39, Gravel 37, Obahma 33, Clinton 27 and as for the negatives -11 Thompson, -17 Cox, -19 Giuliani, -26 Tancredo, -31 McCain, -34 Huckabee, and -36 Romney
Two peas in a pod, John :), Two peas in a pod. I will be voting for Hillary however, Obahma's lack of experience makes me too nervous.
*Jimmy, can't say that your answers surprise me either. They kind of look like I thought they would, expcept I figured Huckabee would be higher on your list.
Love you both!
Jenny
