What Candidate Matches Best to Your Beliefs

1. Obama 9/11 and 91.7
2. Huntsman
3. Perry

 

Out of cuirousity, what were the two you got Huntsman and Perry on?

 

Had the same problem, but wasn't surprised. The most rational positions are emerging from the guys who are currently at the top of the pile.

 

1 - Bachmann
2 - Paul
3 - Romney (never gonna happen, even if he is the only person on the ballot)

 

I must admit that I thought that the board would be running somewhere around 2-1 for Obama with Romney the second choice. When it comes to politics - I think people here may live in a bit of a bubble.

 

Or it could be the imprecision of the polling process. Or the loaded nature of those quiz questions. Or the impoverished slate of 'challengers.'

 

Obama 7, Huntsman 2, Romney 2. 1 each for Bachmann, Paul and Santorum.
If I was a Republican, my three preferred choices would have been Roemer, Huntsman, Paul. In that order.

 

Afghanistan and defense spending (Hunstman) and Afghanistan and experience (Perry).

 

I got Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul with 4 out of 11 each. Those results are comical. I'm about as much of a big-government supporter as you'll find.

I was also very frustrated by the lack of options for certain choices. My ideal country would feature a single massive tax on the rich and completely and constitutionally legal gay marriage and huge cuts to foreign aid. Foreign aid wasn't even a topic, as if the U.S. is just expected to be everyone's bitch at this point, and neither a haymaker tax on the rich nor national gay marriage were options. (For the record, I recognize that the more extreme execution of my hopes is completely unfeasible. But I would like to see us moving toward those progressive benchmarks.)

 

I didn't like the options for gay marriage. I think I picked it should be left up to the states which is not at all how I feel, but the other options were not my view.

I agree with Versatile on gay marriage and taxing the rich.

 

I got Obama and Paul as my top 2, which I find rather perplexing. Are there some similarities between those two of which I'm not aware?

It was a screwy poll with screwy choices skewed widely to the right. I answered none for at least three.

 

Completely agree.
