Cool 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.

Take Care All!

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. 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.

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%)

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.

1. Kerry 100%
2. Clark 93%
3. Edwards 90%
4. Lieberman 89%
5. "The Screamer" 87%

Bush was last (77%), though I've picked him to win in Vegas.

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