Now tell me, who was your best match? (Mine was Kucinich)

[Bicoastal]

1. No thank you...

...those almost never work for me.

[mrdemocrat78]

19. No, you just THINK they don't

[asdjrocky]

2. Wow-

I think it actually worked. 1. Edwards 2. Biden 3. Obama

[Radical Activist]

3. Kucinich then Obama

This is one of the better ones I've seen.

[RiverStone]

4. Biden then Obama

[antiimperialist]

6. Did you adjust the sliders?

When I took mine I almost though it was over, until I saw the sliders allowing you to "weight" the issues by importance. It didnt' change the results much anyway.

5. Kucinich

When you are done taking the quiz, don't forget to weight the issues at the end of the quiz moving the sliders to the right.

What do you mean by that?

On edit:

I moved the sliders to the degree of importance I feel, and the results remained the same.

Except Kucinich rose higher! ;)

14. That did not change my number 1 choice, but it did change my

second and third choices. It got Hillary off my chart. So now, I'm Dodd, then Edwards (my favorite in fact) and then Kucinich. That is accurate except I like Edwards the most. Thank heavens.

7. As always with these things, Kucinich.

but I still can't get excited by him... I just don't see him as Presidential. Probably a failing on my part.

[Breeze54]

13. What issue's are most important to you?

:shrug:

How often have you seen him speak? He is very smart!

Go read more about him, his policies and watch his speeches.

Check out the Action Center and the blogs.

There's also a LIVE CHAT ROOM

Good people there and lots of interesting things.

20. The issue that's most important

is to restore our constitution and rights. Undo the damage of 8 years of Bush, Ashcroft, Cheney, and Gonzales. And ensure fair elections.

After that, substantive issue is Global Warming / Energy.

And then, on a personal issue, Health Care. (I freelance and if I could buy insurance, it would cost me $900/month... and that's with a $10,000 deductible... so right now I don't have any).

And, yeah, I have checked out his website and read a few of his position papers.

8. I was least compatible with Sam Brownback, i believe

Romney and Huckabee were way down there as well.

[Blue State Bandit]

9. Strange...

1. Obama
2. The Huckster
3. Hillary

How did Huck get in there?
Oh yea, no religon questions.

On edit:
Maybe it was the "Colbert Bump"?

[antiimperialist]

12. Do you hate Mexicans? n/t

[Blue State Bandit]

18. Kay?

Mi amor'e Chicano's, just not those who enter illegally and then proceed to game the system (sell drugs, join gangs, abuse public assistance programs).

[moriah]

22. Huckabee/Colbert '08? Or will that be his first broken promise?

... actually, I really hope Huck doesn't get the Rep nod, although I think he'd be easier to beat than McCain.

But the idea of him actually being president scares the excrement out of me.

[JDPriestly]

10. I was more Dodd, but I back Edwards.

[Breeze54]

15. Dodd dropped out.

Seems like this might be an old poll.

[antiimperialist]

21. You probably supported Edwards because...

Edwards complain that to many, Edwards doesn't exist, but very few pay attention to Dodd, and it's perhaps because CDDNE

[JDPriestly]

23. I have always supported Edwards. I also liked Dodd a lot.

Dodd is not assertive enough. We need Edwards because he is stronger in his beliefs, a stronger fighter. They are both very good human beings. I think of the candidates, Edwards and Dodd are/were the candidates I like/liked the most just as human beings.

[Occam Bandage]

11. Obama, then Kucinich.

[moriah]

16. Clinton, then Obama, then Dodd. n/t

[Lasher]

17. Obama came out first for me.

Then I adjusted the 'experience' slider - didn't like the question. That put Kucinich on top with Obama number 2.

24. Kucinich, Gravel, Edwards.... I looked at the tabs and what the

candidate said.. and how they made their check marks... Its a bit deceptive... But I did find out, according to this quiz... I have more in common with Mittens than I do Clinton.

[Adsos Letter]

25. Kucinich, Richardson, ...

...Romney?!! :wtf:

[CitizenLeft]

26. Obama, Dodd, Edwards

I don't know why, but that surprised me. I have avoided picking a candidate so far. I thought for sure Edwards would be first.

I had Kucinich in there until I farted around with the immigration slider, LOL.
