To add some relaxation, i present the candidate match game

[Bodhi BloodWave]

Since things are rather tense these days and all kinda crazy rumors, claims, counter-claims, smears and who knows what else seems to be posted about all candidates and their endorsers i decided to post this as a way to relax atleast for a few minutes :) sides i find em fun

link: http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/candidate-match-game.htm

my order after answering and adjusting the sliders to my priorities
1: Barack Obama
2: Chris Dodd
3: Dennis Kucinich

Edited to add: feel free to post your results as well :)

[Barack_America]

1. I'll play! (Obama, Biden, Edwards)

I'll edit this after I finish...

Okay, I get:

1. Obama
2. Biden
3. Edwards (virtual tie with Hillary though)

My big issues are Healthcare and Taxes (with Iraq and Global Warming closely behind)

11. Mind if i ask how accurate that is to your views before the test n/t

15. Not even close

before: clinton edwards obama
after: gravel kuchinich dodd

go figure. :crazy:

[Barack_America]

22. Without using the slider to rank my issues, it wasn't close.

It's the gay marriage issue. It's important to me, but it seems that none of the front-running candidates are willing to come out and support it.

2. Ha!

Gravel, Kucinich, Dodd! :evilgrin:

[Bodhi BloodWave]

3. Hehe, interesting results

I dare bet you hadn't expected Gravel to end up on top

[Lebam in LA]

9. Me Too

:)

[Barack_America]

12. Same sex marriage. Does it every time on these quizzes.

Am I correct?

[babylonsister]

13. That could be it; I'm all for them and just wish the rest of the country,

and candidates, were.

4. Well I am screwed- Gravel ? Apparently some of you are right and I am insane.

:crazy:

[Bodhi BloodWave]

7. hmm, interesting sofar

Of the two who has answered so far Gravel have ended up on top with both :o

Maybe he needs a closer look :tinfoilhat:

[LoveMyCali]

18. Yikes

I got Gravel first too. Then Clinton followed by Kucinich.

[Barack_America]

10. I get Gravel a lot on these quizzes too!

It's the same sex marriage that did it, right?

[goldcanyonaz]

5. Clinton, Obama, Edwards in that order for me. Cool beans!

[Bodhi BloodWave]

8. From what i've seen of your posts, that seems fairly accurate n/t

[MadBadger]

6. 1. Barack Obama 2. Chris Dodd 3. John Edwards

[Imalittleteapot]

14. Kucinich, Gravel, Dodd

No surprises here.

[Kucinich4America]

16. Well.... 2 out of 3 ain't bad......

1) Kucinich

2) Gravel

3) HUCK???? :hide:

[Bodhi BloodWave]

17. *chuckles* Now thats quite the interesting numer 3 ya got there n/t

[Muttocracy]

25. maybe there's an error in it...

and people took the quiz and that explains Iowa??

[jlake]

19. Biden, Dodd, Clinton..... knew it!

[bigwillq]

Kucinich, Gravel, Paul (nt)

[bunnies]

24. same here.

Me & DK match exactly on this one. The only thing that sets Gravel apart is Global Warming.

[NoBorders]

20. Kucinich, Gravel, Dodd

Major surprise for me: I'm way more nutty left winger than I thought. :-)

[Muttocracy]

21. close to expectations

With sliders adjusted (made a big difference in the output):
Dodd
Biden
Edwards
Gravel
Clinton

I would have said my preferences were:
Biden
Dodd
Richardson/Edwards/Obama
Gravel/Kucinich

[Zynx]

23. Obama, Clinton, Edwards

Close enough for me.
