Take the test to see which candidate you REALLY want!

That’s weird. I have no idea why that double posted.

!st - Obama
2nd - Paul
3rd - Gingrich - not a chance in hell.

Those were my results too, and my reaction to them. I got Huntsman and Gingrich for one question each, and the rest Obama.

Obama, Huntsman, Paul.

There were several questions where I didn’t really like any of the options, though.

Ron Paul, but I knew that.

May I hijack for a moment? If you want a slider, check out americanselect.org. They’re not just telling you who to vote for; they’re building a ticket from the people you select.

Moved MPSIMS --> IMHO.

I’m a jolly old foreigner and am not completely familiar with all the issues; and some of the options seem rather limited to me - particularly healthcare. But apparently I favour Obama, then Romney, then Huntsman, who I’ve never heard of.

I also am a foreigner and have to ask, does this test replicate reality? Even if the real answer is nobody you end up “picking” someone from the two major parties?

  1. Obama (no surprise)
  2. Paul
  3. Huntsman

I could live with Huntsman or probably Romney, but I don’t know how Paul got in there. I am very much not a Libertarian.

  1. Obama
  2. Paul
  3. Romney

Honestly, I hate polls like this as, to work, they have to simplify complex political opinions into multiple choice either/or questions. For most of the questions, if I could answer honestly, my answer wouldn’t have been any of the choices or would have been a blend of two or more of them.

I got the exact same result (but I only took it once. :D). In mine, Obama was the clear runaway - I matched like 7 questions with him. I only matched 2 with either Romney or Bachmann.

Still, I’m rather horrified. <madmartigan>She’s batshit insane; I hate her. Don’t I?</madmartigan>

The poll is not asking you about your views it is asking you to rate the views of the candidates. There are no pro-gay marriage candidates so there are no pro-gay marriage views to evaluate.
Mine was Perry, Gringrich, Romney. I am suprised Paul was not higher.

Cool, thanks for sharing! (I wonder what it means that on a good number of these questions, I apparently agree solely with residents of Wyoming…)

WTF? Who is Pat Paulsen?

Mine said:
#1 Newt Gingrich (4 matches)
#2 Jon Huntsman (3 matches)
#3 Mitt Romney (3 matches)

Of these, Jon Huntsman is the only one I would piss on if he was on fire.

Obama for all but two questions.

Obama, Romney, and Paul… hmmmm…

  1. Paul

  2. Huntsman

  3. Romney

Obama by far - my two runners up only had 1 question each agreeing with me and those were on the hot button issues.

It got surreal around the gay marriage question. It’s such a non-issue here now.
