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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Quite true. This was especially true for me regarding immigration.

Gravel, Kucinich...McCain?

I did not know how to answer the last question about which is the most important position to have held for a presidential candidate. I don't think holding any of those positions would make a person more qualified than someone else just because they were in that office.

esad,

For the health care question you hate there was an option to pick something along the lines of open up health care to competition. Essentially you can pick a response that has the government getting out health care. You're looking at this from a very cynical perspective, I thought this quiz was allowed for a variety of legitimate responses.
