Default Cool USA Today Presidential match game

USA Today Candidate match game

I like how it does it graphically. I got Ron Paul, Sam Brownback, and Fred Thompson.

I noticed it didn't give any credit to Paul for running a business though, so he should've won by more. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Also, Giuliani got a huge boost for wanting to scrap the tax system, something he's not actually considering to my knowledge. Oh, and once I figured out the slider system to give more emphasis to Tax Reform, the Iraq War and Health Care, and less on Global Warming and Experience, it was Paul, Giuliani and Kucinich.

One? I can't think of 3 more dissimilar candidates except for maybe replacing Giuliani with Brownback/Huckabee.

Mine were Kucinich, Dodd and Richardson. Richardson is interesting to me. I hadn't seriously considered any of the minor Dem candidates, but I think I like Richardson.

I should like Richardson better than I do, but he just comes off wrong to me every time I see him make an appearance.

That test said that Tancredo would be my top choice, and no matter how far and violently I moved those sliders, I could not move him down the list.

Looks like I'm going to have to vote Tancredo.

THIS SUCKS.

Ridiculous. Many of the questions did not have answers that I was in favor of so I had to pick the lesser of five evils.

I reran the test, but this time, instead of picking what I would ideally like to see, I picked answers according to what the policy priorities should be and I came up with Richardson, Kucinich and Giuliani.

The more interesting question is who you disagreed with the most. I have Tancredo followed by a tight pack of Edwards, Duncan Hunter (who?), Ron Paul, Brownback, and Kucinich.

Since most of the choices are terrible instead of using to find the best candidates I used it to find the worse ones. It's a good idiot test since the answers are the actual positions of the candidates. Running it as an idiot test I got:

Edwards, Obama, Clinton (Dodd came in a very close 4th)

Kinda what I expected.
