Who should you vote for?

[mousepod]

Heather and I just answered the 26 questions in the selectsmart.com Presidential Selector (http://www.selectsmart.com/president/2008.html). Our lists were the similar (but not identical) - but it's sure interesting to see who our top picks would be...

[SacTown Chronic]

Dennis Kucinich (85%)












Fred Thompson (12%)

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Kucinich (76%)
Obama (68%)


Fred Thompson (14%)

Does that mean I like Thompson approximately 2% more than STC does? (shudder)

[BarTopDancer]

I really need to start reading up on the candidates so I can decide which one is the lesser weasel.

I haven't heard of some of these people.

I know of Clinton, Obama and Thompson. Yes, I know Thompson was a Senator but I can't see Arthur Branch as President ;) I also disagree with a lot of his views.

[Prudence]

Obama (83%)


Duncan Hunter (who?) (16%)

That actually surprises me, as I didn't think I liked Obama. Of the other major names I remember hearing about: 80% Kucinich, 78% Clinton, 72% Edwards, 66% Richardson, 48% Paul, 35% Giuliani, 31% McCain, 28% Romney, and 17% Thompson.

[mousepod]

I was surprised that my #1 choice (after the candidate who is no longer running) is Joe Biden.

[Snowflake]

I'll go with #1

[Moonliner]

26. Dennis Kucinich (40%)


What's wrong with you people?

[innerSpaceman]

oooh, what a surprise. Dennis Kuchinich is my ideal candidate (d'uh) with 89%. My only better U.S. president would be ... me.


Obama came in higher than Hillary (87% to 81%), even though I'm voting for Hillary.


Only 76% for John Edwards. That truly surprises me. I guess I have the wrong impression of his positions.

Heheh, Mitt Romney at 20% (I'm surprised it's that high), and Fred Thompson at 12%.




Lemme see ... what are Dennis Kuchinich's chances????



Ugh, now I'm depressed. :(

[Strangler Lewis]

Gosh, that's a lot of questions.

[mousepod]

My top 6 (not including the theoretical 100% candidate who doesn't exist):

1. Augustson (Green guy, not running)
2. Biden
3. Clinton
4. Kucinich
5. Bloomberg (not running)
6. Obama

It's not enough to make me start canvassing for Joe, but it certainly makes me want to do a little more research before I cast my vote...

[Ghoulish Delight]

I don't remember percentages, but my #1 was the same no-longer-running Green Party (hahaha) candidate as Jesse, then Kucinich followed closely by Obama. Then Biden, then Hillary.

I just don't like Kucinich from a charisma standpoint, I don't want to see his face for the next 4-8 years. So my vote remains Obama.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I don't care what the thing says - it would take extreme circumstances to force me to vote for a major candidate. (Perhaps if the Republican nom is really, really evil this time around...)

[sleepyjeff]

Duncan Hunter(81%)

Chuck Hagel(79%)

Fred Thompson(75%)

and further down the list...

Rudolph Giuliani(58%)

Bill Richardson(39%)

Hillary Clinton(36%)

Dennis Kucinich(15%)

and at the bottom someone Ive never heard of....Elaine Brown(5%)

Duncan Hunter......is that the guy Darkbeer has been pushing?

[Moonliner]

26. Dennis Kucinich (40%)


Duncan Hunter(81%)

and further down the list...

Dennis Kucinich(15%)


Dude! I gotta party with you. Now where is Scaeagles I'm betting his Kucinich score would also be in the same ballpark. :D

[Stan4dSteph]

1. Barack Obama (80%)
2. Al Gore (not announced) (77%)
3. Alan Augustson (campaign suspended) (74%)
4. John Edwards (69%)
5. Wesley Clark (not running, endorsed Clinton) (66%)
6. Christopher Dodd (64%) Information link
7. Dennis Kucinich (64%) Information link
8. Joseph Biden (63%) Information link
9. Hillary Clinton (63%)

[Tom]

2. Barack Obama (88 %)
3. Dennis Kucinich (87 %)
4. Joseph Biden (82 %)
5. Alan Augustson (campaign suspended) (81 %)
6. Hillary Clinton (81 %)
7. John Edwards (80 %)
8. Christopher Dodd (80 %)

I'm pretty well bunched up after the ideal candidate. Seems like it'll hardly matter whom I vote for. Which makes things easier.

[scaeagles]

After the ideal candidate of myself....

2. Newt Gingrich (not announced) (76%)
3. Fred Thompson (70%)

15. Al Gore (not announced) (44%)

21. Hillary Clinton (33%)

23. John Edwards (30%)
24. Barack Obama (24%)

27. Dennis Kucinich (15%)

What a surprise! I'm completely different than most people here! :eek:

[innerSpaceman]

And yet still a good guy.







How is that possible???

[CoasterMatt]

I'd probably vote for Thompson.

[scaeagles]

And yet still a good guy.
How is that possible???

It isn't. I've been deceiving all of you all along. :evil:
