Clinton 9 Obama 8 McCain 4 Huckabee 2 I closed the window already… so I don’t remember what it was that I disagreed with Hillary on… I think it was immigration. This was a neat quiz… although it did not help me much. I’ve been torn between Hillary and Obama and I don’t think thsi really helped me much. (Although I think it affirmed my belief, that I’ll vote for either- whoever wins the nomination) ---

That was interesting. I liked having to really think about the issues without knowing who said what. My top results were: Clinton 9 Obama 8 McCain 7 But I disagreed with Obama on his gay marriage stance because he says that he doesn’t support gay marriage (which I do), but I still think his statements on civil unions are fairly progressive. It’s not a severe disagreement, maybe more of a semantic argument. So I might have to say he and Clinton tie. Either way, I’m still an Obama supporter. I’m surprised I agree with McCain on so much, actually. I only have one issue (Iraq) that would get me kicked out of the Liberal Commie Pinko Club, I knew I would be more in line with McCain there, but the rest is surprising. ---

I started this quiz with no idea of which candidate I might choose, but limited my choices within the quiz to McCain, Obama, and Clinton. I was trying to include what seemed to me to be the frontrunners so far. Turns out I agree with Obama on 7 issues, Clinton on 3, and McCain on 0. And the positions where I agreed with Clinton didn’t really vary that much from Obama’s, so I guess he’s my choice this year. I wanted to avoid the personalities so I really appreciate the link to this site. ---

Well, I’m surprised. I was most in agreement with McCain – no suprise – but – here’s the surprise – more in agreement with Obama than Clinton. I would have bet my red state soul I had less in common with Obama. Huh. ---

Earlier today I tried 4 different “find your candidate” type quizzes, each of them had a different result. With this one, I limited it to just the 4 front runners so Paul and Gravel were right out, but I found it amusing that not only did they not agree with this quiz, they didn’t agree with each other nor my personal preference. I should just write in my own name because I agree with myself at least half the time.
