Interesting website. The guy who I got 100% for (brownback) doesn't represent me 100%. His BIO even goes against some of the answers I gave.
I wonder why he got 100%?

I got Newted. :(

Not really sure this is very accurate.
Hillary shows up on my list so there is something wrong if she isn't dead last.
Same with McCain.

Ack. I don't care. Newt won't get my vote.

A very poorly written survey, in my opinion. Many of the issues were worded in such a way that I couldn't agree with either choice, being forced repeatedly to choose "Neither". This best this will give you is some idea of the ideology of the candidates, i.e. who's worth a closer look. On the other hand, the comparison tool at
http://www.selectsmart.com/president/2008/comparethem.html
was much more helpful in seeing where the candidates really stand on most of the key issues. So, the survey will get you in the ball park, while the comparison tool will help you refine your choice. The only thing I would have liked to see is more info on voting/veto records of those candidates.

I had Richardson, but I probably answered neither to more than half the loaded, extreme questions. Hell, most of the questions I DID answere disagree with his stated opinions. The fact that Obama was third on my list is a bit telling to me about how accurate this "test" really is. If Obama was on fire I wouldn't take a Giuliani on him to put it out.

Thanks, bsdaddict, I really like surveys like this. As several others commented, this started out with lots of Neither answers.
Judging from what I know about some candicates, I was amazed that supposedly I am 100% for Hillary, and the next four preferences also are Democrats.
I thought I was more Republican?
Clearly I have a lot of homework to do before the 2008 election. :confused:

Of course, most of the options were too simplistic.
-
Most of the questions were too loaded. There were 2 questions I didn't want to answer because I didn't agree with any of the choices.

there were a few that are very poorly worded. I think I only ended up answering 2 or 3 "neither", most I just had to reread a couple times. The tax one, "raise taxes and/or lower spending..." vs. "not concerned with the budget" was one of those. My first instinct was neither, but then I noticed the "OR lower taxes..." also confused why they have to word things like "do you support the positions of this organizatiuon...". anyhoo, I didn't write the dang thing... :)
