Candidate Test/This is interesting

[tarheel]

Found this site with a test to see which candiate for president most closely matches your opinions on many current issues. Thought you guys might want to check it out.

(By the way, my results showed me most closely associating with Kucinich, then Dean, then Edwards. I guess I would have to mostly agree with that assessment.)

1. It's a pretty good test

But it's been posted before.

Also, you may want to retitle your thread, or you might get shut down for being too vague.

7. Thanks Shimo !

I modified the title a little bit. I agree. I thought it was a pretty accurate test.

2. I was exactly the same as you. How'd I get 4% for Bush?

That's embarassing!

12. A new result for me.

I've taken it a few times, and usually am Kucinich, Dean, Edwards, Gep, Kerry. Clark's entry changes that. Today's results:

Kucinich, Dean, Clark, Edwards, Gep, Kerry

I'd like to know how they determine a candidate's positions. Is it on past record, or on speeches/platform, or both?

13. Wanna hear something weird?

I have a lifelong friend who claims to be a libertarian but in fact is a repuke and used to like Bush* until the war. Would never vote democrat because he hates all taxes.

He took this little "test" and it came out Lieberman!!!!!!!!!!

Funny stuff. Maybe not so surprising after all.
