Which Pres. candidate most closely shares your views on the issues
 

Hi guys!

This is pretty cool. There's 30 or so questions on a number of different issues. You answer the questions and the program compares your answers with those of the candidates.

My results:

1. Bush
2. Lieberman
3. Edwards
4. Kerry
5. Sharpton!!!!?????

I had:

1. Kerry
2. Dean
3. Kucinich
4. Clark
5. Sharpton

Bush was last on my list with 24% ... :)

1) Kucinich
2) Sharpton !!!?!???
3) Dean
4) Kerry
5) Clark

Bush was last on my list with 13%

It's amazing how the last question can completely shuffle your "ranking".

Social Issues
Crime/Education
Security and International Policy
Benefit Programs
The Economy/Environment

Often one cadidate focusses his rhetoric on only one of these issues, and your prioritization of this list results in a huge impact to how the candidates are ranked.

1)Bush
2)Lieberman
3)Edwards
4)Kerry
5)Clark

I left "no opinion" on a lot, because I felt the question wasn't clear enough. Example "Allow lawsuits against gun manufacturers". Now, certianly if you buy a gun and it blows up in your hand when you use it, I think you should be able to sue. If a gun is sold and is used to kill someone, that's not the manufacturer's problem, its the person who killed someone! So the question was incomplete. There were a few others like this.

I'm not a US Citizen (I don't even get to play one on TV ;) ) and I don't really know jack about who's standing and for what values, this year but here are an outsider's results:

1) Edwards
2) Lieberman
3) Kerry
4) Bush
5) Clark

It seems Bush is the only Republican candidate in my entire "selected sample" of 8 possible matches. :confused: I guess that tells me something.

Kucinich 100%
Kerry 97%
Sharpton 94%
Dean 91%
Clark 89%
Edwards 82%

I think lumping crime and education together skews the results.

I agree...

It tells you that he is the only Republican running.;)

Not that this should suprise anyone:

Bush (100%) Followed by
Lieberman (64%)
Clark (57%)
Edwards (56%)
Kerry (55%)

Emcon5, you and I have different views of how a country should be run... :D

I was surprised.

1) Bush 100%
2) Lieberman 96%
3) Edwards 93%
4) Kerry 92%
5) Clark 84%

Bush 100%. That's crazy!!! :)

I don't see how they got 100% for me. They list how GWB would answer their questions, and while some are the same, a lot aren't. Some are opposite.

Interestingly, if you just click through leaving everything as "no opinion" it comes back as 100% for all of them.

Nothing else to add, I just had to post this picture:

The questions are too broad, but then look who's running...
