Select a Candidate, 2008
This came to me via email, but I found it interesting.
Select A Candidate 2008
Based on how you answer 14 questions (and how important those 14 questions are to you), this application will show you the candidate who most closely matches your interests.
Funnily enough, mine came in exactly how I plan to vote. My dad, who sent this to me, got a different answer than the candidate who he liked.
How do you fare?

Fairly accurate, except for my wild Independent streak. I truly hate both the Dems & Repubs just on general principle.

Re: Select a Candidate, 2008
It mostly jived with my position, with the exception of it not parsing one of my candidates' stances correctly. Funny, but I know the platform better than this test apparently does.

Re: Select a Candidate, 2008
Heh, Obama and Hilary tied for me.
Guess it's good I can't vote, according to this test, I'd never have made it out of the voting booth for the nomination.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: Select a Candidate, 2008
I got Mike Gravel, who I've never heard of until today. Otherwise I tied for Hillary and Obama, at only one point less than Gravel.
I wish he stood a chance! I'm diggin' him:

Re: Select a Candidate, 2008
I'm not surprised that my first pick is not in the pack.
Clinton and Obama tied for a close second? Now that surprises me!

Re: Select a Candidate, 2008
I think Clinton and Obama ended up tying for everyone, since they supposedly have the same stance on every issue that was presented. They were at the top of my list.

Most poloticians do know how to make a fool of themselves....
"I did NOT have sexual affiliations with that woman..."
Maybe it's because I'm more (Not sure if I'm using the right word here...) Liberal. I don't give a crap what you do, as long as it doesn't bother me.

Perhaps you should spend a little more time paying attention in school and a little less time on forums.

Re: Select a Candidate, 2008
Maybe I should just shut up, I don't know much about politics. I've never really cared, and I don't think much is going to change that.
That's just the opinion of a kid though, Maybe I'll start giving a crap later.
