This is a really good site in which you answer a bunch of questions about your position on various issues and it ranks the candidates in terms of their agreement with you. What's really cool is that you can click on "compare" to see how the various candidates compare with you on each issue. So take the test and, if you like post your results: http://www.change.org/presidential_matchmaker Here are my results: Your Presidential Match: Newt Gingrich! My top five: Newt Gingrich 86% Sam Brownback 83% Tom Tancredo 78% Duncan Hunter 78% Fred Thompson 76% My bottom five: Hillary Clinton 34% Mike Gravel 31% Chris Dodd 31% Barack Obama 30% and the biggest loser is: Dennis Kucinich coming in at 23%
I do like Newt. But he's not running and I doubt he could win anyway. The funny thing is, the guy I'm planning to vote for came in at only 64% (Guiliani). Just ahead of Ron Paul and Bill Richardson (the only Democrat that came in over 50%).
The interesting thing is that, as much as we obviously disagree on the issues, we both ranked Bill Richardson about the same. It's too bad for the Democrats that guys not doing better than he is in the race for the Democratic nomination.
Guiliani? Mayor to President, huh? I'd say he's long shot, dark horse candidate whose only claim to fame is recovering from prostate cancer and being the mayor of New York City when that inside job called 9/11 happened and catapulted the war machine, oil companies and reconstructionists to grand billion dollar war profiteers. I don't vote by partisan philosophy, but at present Hillary does seem to be the most qualified and representative of current foreign policy trends. I'll take the test tomorrow and post my results. Who knows, maybe old Newt fits my ideology.
She switched? When was she ever gun hoe about WMD in a country whose government couldn't hold back an invasion before falling within two & half weeks? And nation building? She more concerned about domestic issues than which sub-sub Islamic fundamentalist faction is presently uprising in some dark remote spot of the globe that thinks democracy means giving up the right to national revolt and civil war.

88% Dennis Kucinich 80% Mike Gravel 79% Hillary Clinton 79% Chris Dodd 78% Barack Obama 75% John Edwards 72% Joe Biden 61% Al Gore 58% Ron Paul 57% Bill Richardson 43% Tommy Thompson 39% John McCain 38% Rudolph Giuliani 34% Jim Gilmore 34% Mike Huckabee 33% Mitt Romney 32% Fred Thompson 23% Sam Brownback 21% Newt Gingrich 18% Duncan Hunter 17% Tom Tancredo I do agree with Kucinich and Gravel on many things, but I would probably go with Clinton as the most electable. It's not only about the issues, but who would be best at the job. Hey, madanthonywayne, we are polar opposites almost! Not that I'm surprised.
Wow. We're mirror reflections of each other. But just as with Exumed, Bill Richardson is the only person we both rank above 50%. In fact, we both have him at 57%.
Change vs. ANES Highest ranking Democrats: • Kucinich - 91% • Clinton - 85% • Dodd - 85% • Obama - 84% • Gravel - 81% • Edwards - 79% Highest ranking GOP: • Ron Paul - 59% • Rudy Giuliani - 43% • John McCain - 40% • Mitt Romney - 39% • Mike Huckabee - 35% • Jim Gilmore - 34% Bottom Five: • Fred Thompson - 33% • Sam Brownback - 24% • Newt Gingrich - 23% • Tom Tancredo - 17% • Duncan Hunter - 16% • • • Click on the "compare" link, and you'll find that the comparisons really are quite simple. Another survey (YourMorals.org) ranked my compatibility strongest with Edwards, and then Gore, Obama, Kucinich, and Richardson, with Clinton as the lowest among the available candidates. The YM survey result is, admittedly, more intuitively comfortable, and let that say whatever it will. To the other, both surveys agreed that Ron Paul is the closest Republican match to my outlook. The YM survey considered data and formulae from ANES. (Yes, go ahead and chuckle at that one.) The ANES outlook has a few things going for it, though: Stanford University, the University of Michigan, and the National Science Foundation. Keep an eye on ANES at ElectionStudies.org. ANES! ANES, ANES, ANES! (Really, my hang-up with ANES will sublimate soon enough.)
Geez, so far it looks like if SciForums were to decide the next election, it would be Kucinich in a landslide.

I'm not going to create an account so that this Web site knows my opinions but you can take the same quiz here (without registering): http://www.speakout.com/VoteMatch/senate2006.asp?quiz=2008 I took it before and Kucinich came out 1st with Paul at the top of the Republican heap. The problem is that it weghts all responses equally and ignores some important issues as well.
I'm afraid I must admit I don't know anything about Bill Richardson. We might both like Newt however. I don't know that much about him, but he gave a extremely good criticism of congress and the white house over recent years.
When? Before we decided to go to Iraq. She didn't just support the war, she was making the case for it.
I am not an US citizen, I'm Dutch. But I took the test anyway and these are the results: 80% Bill Richardson * Governor (NM) * Democrat 75% Barack Obama * Senator (IL) * Democrat 71% Al Gore * Presidential Candidate * Democrat 71% Joe Biden * Senator (DE) * Democrat 71% Chris Dodd * Senator (CT) * Democrat 69% Hillary Clinton * Senator (NY) * Democrat 69% John Edwards * Presidential Candidate * Democrat 66% Mike Gravel * Presidential Candidate * Democrat 64% Tommy Thompson * Presidential Candidate * Republican 63% Dennis Kucinich * Representative (OH-10) * Democrat 61% Rudolph Giuliani * Presidential Candidate * Republican 60% John McCain * Senator (AZ) * Republican 57% Mitt Romney * Presidential Candidate * Republican 57% Jim Gilmore * Presidential Candidate * Republican 50% Ron Paul * Representative (TX-14) * Republican 50% Fred Thompson * Presidential Candidate * Republican 46% Newt Gingrich * Presidential Candidate * Republican 44% Mike Huckabee * Presidential Candidate * Republican 40% Sam Brownback * Senator (KS) * Republican 39% Tom Tancredo * Representative (CO-06) * Republican 38% Duncan Hunter * Representative (CA-52) * Republican
You don't have to give your real name or even a real email address. I registered as Mad Anthony. The email address I gave was real, but it was a throwaway gmail address I always use for these type of registrations. My wife took the quiz and gave a completely fake email address.
None of them, they all are just paid flunkies of big businesses and won't do shit when they get elected except raise taxes or spend money they don't have.
I don't know anything about him either, it's just funny his name keeps popping up so high on peoples list despite the fact that the peoples viewpoints are completely opposite to each other. And Newt is great. He's probably the smartest guy in politics. It's just too bad that damned campaign finance "reform" makes it so tough to run that he decided not to run. That law really needs to be repealed.
Wow, I wouldn't have thought it possible for one person to rank those two candidates almost the same.
