2008 Presidential Selector Quiz Thing

[sixtyandaquarter]

I typed in a quick search on google, and found one of those semi spammy quizzes regarding who, of people either announced to be running for president 2008, are unnanounced or have dropped out, makes the best candidate for you based on the answers to your questions.

It can be found HERE if anyone cares. After taking it you see a bunch of those "offers" and "deals" to be filled out, but if you just scroll down you'll find your results. Oddly the 1st place, cause I've sent this to a few people, always comes in "Theoretical Ideal Candidate" heh.

And if anyone cares, here's my apparent results

Spoiler: Joseph Biden?

1. Theoretical Ideal Candidate (100%)
2. Joseph Biden (87%)
3. Hillary Clinton (85%)
4. Dennis Kucinich (79%)
5. Michael Bloomberg (not announced) (77%)
6. John Edwards (76%)
7. Wesley Clark (not announced) (73%)
8. Barack Obama (72%)
9. Christopher Dodd (71%)
10. Alan Augustson (campaign suspended) (71%)
11. Al Gore (not announced) (70%)
12. Bill Richardson (61%)
13. Mike Gravel (54%)
14. Rudolph Giuliani (53%)
15. John McCain (47%)
16. Kent McManigal (campaign suspended) (42%)
17. Elaine Brown (38%)
18. Mitt Romney (35%)
19. Ron Paul (32%)
20. Tommy Thompson (withdrawn) (32%)
21. Chuck Hagel (not announced) (31%)
22. Mike Huckabee (30%)
23. Sam Brownback (29%)
24. Fred Thompson (27%)
25. Newt Gingrich (not announced) (23%)
26. Tom Tancredo (20%)
27. Duncan Hunter (16%)
28. Jim Gilmore (withdrawn) (15%)

Personally I'm surprised by the order of the candidates.

Anyone want, take the test and let's see your scores.

Sorry the pagination is off, I dun feel like fixing it :'S

I actually am in support of Giuliani right now, and I'm wayyy against McCain and Clinton. I recognize myself as a liberal republican, but I sorta am more libertarian than democrat. Kinda interesting though. I think the questions about illegal/legal immigrants, school funding, and reparations kinda threw it off because I don't care so much about those issues.

I'd rather not get into a debate about my choice of candidates, thanks in advance :D

Reasonably accurate, I'd say. I'm more of a lefty than this makes me out to be, but I do like Obama. I'm surprised Hillary Clinton is so high though, cause I'm not a huge fan of her.

Pretty fun, but a lot of the issues that come up are way too complex to be reduced to two over-arching choices. The gay-marriage question for example. It only asked you whether or not you support gay marriage/civil-unions (or one and not the others). However, I support the idea of both, but I don't think the government should make the decision on gay marriage one way or the other. Since the word "marriage" brings religion into it, it seems like it should be up to individual churches to decide that, and the government should not have a blanket law one way or the other.

These little quizzes don't allow for that kind of nuance, though.

Huh. Who the fuck is Christopher Dodd?

Senator from Connecticut, actually. Not quite as famous as his asshole counterpart Lieberman, but he's been in the Senate longer. He's running for Prez, but his campaign is a complete long-shot. Though he's got decades of experience, he's not very charismatic and an old white guy is just not a big draw to Democratic primary voters in an election that includes a woman(Hillary), a black man(Obama), a Hispanic(Bill Richardson) and a leprechaun(Dennis Kucinich).

[FzGhouL]

My candidate isn't even on the list :X
Also, I have to sign up for something to get results? Bleh.

 

[sixtyandaquarter]

No you don't, I even said all you have to do is scroll down to get the result. Take the test, and then scroll down, or hit skip once or twice (as someone told me they had to skip something at least once) and then scroll down. No sign up for anythings.

Just about spot-on, but it gave some candidates more than they deserved in my mind. I don't know that much about 3-6, but as a Libertarian, Ron Paul does in fact have my support.

 

[DeM0nFiRe]

There's a mistake in that quiz. It does not include Stephen Colbert, who recently officially announce candidacy.

 

[Rye]

Well, Demon, it is OLD. :\ And he's only running in South Carolina (or something like that) for this moment really.

 

[sixtyandaquarter]

I posted this the 10th of September, and it was old then as well. Besides, it clearly states either 'major' or something to that extent, so Colbert wouldn't be in it. If Micheal Jackson ran in Nevada, he wouldn't be in it either.
