Who should you vote for?

mousepod · 09-24-2007, 08:38 PM

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

SacTown Chronic · 09-25-2007, 07:23 AM

Dennis Kucinich (85%)

Fred Thompson (12%)

LSPoorEeyorick · 09-25-2007, 11:08 AM

Kucinich (76%)
Obama (68%)

Fred Thompson (14%)

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

BarTopDancer · 09-25-2007, 11:22 AM

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 · 09-25-2007, 11:50 AM

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.

26. Dennis Kucinich (40%)

What's wrong with you people?

innerSpaceman · 09-25-2007, 12:54 PM

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.
