1. Been there, done that...

I checked it out the other day...on my first attempt it told me that Al Sharpton was my man. After crying perfusely for hours I decided to retake and then it told me Dean was my man...which I had been figuring all along. So...We'll see what happens now!

2. Based on my views, here's who the site told me agrees with me:

3. Dean's my guy with 80%

but somehow Al Sharpton got 79% and shrub got 19%

[Robbien]

4. I am an ABB

and this survey proved it for me. It gave me no number 1. Seven of the nine candidates got scores in the 65% to 75% range. Kerry got 57% and Lieberman got 40%.

Bush only got a 4%.

So it is true, I really am an ABB.

[greekspeak]

5. LOL...Howard Phillips of the Consitution party got higher than Shrub

And the highest NAMED candidate was Sharpton. I should rather vote green or socialist. How fun!

[Foehammer]

6. Undecided voter

I got Dean at 88% and Bush last at 6%
hmmmm

7. what is interesting to do is to broaden the list of candidates available

If you unclick the boxes on question 17, you get a much broader selection of candidates:

CANDIDATE VIABILITY-- Remove from scoring consideration those candidates on my list:
who have withdrawn from the race for President. Unclick to show withdrawn candidates
who have not yet announced their intention to run for President Unclick to show unannounced candidates
who are not affiliated with one of the two major political parties. Unclick to show 3rd party candidates



Here are my results:

Your Results:

9. considering which forum you are in

I would encourage you to choose a Democrat please

[cryofan]

10. it is obvious, however, that this website has done little research

If you look at my results, you see that Dean and CLark are shown as much more liberal than Gep, Edwards, Kerry. Well, that is the standard line that the mass media has been feeding the public, all right, but most objective DUers know that Dean is in no way more liberal that Gep and Kerry. And as for CLark...well, who knows?

So, this select smart site is really just using the standard media line.....

1. Your ideal theoretical candidate. (100%)

In real life I strongly prefer Kucinich over either of the top three rated dems. Wesley Clark in 7th place? No way- for reasons that the survey was unable to pick up, Clark and Bush are in a dead heat for last.

edit: I messed it up the first time-- now it's correct, and pretty close to spon on, too. My top three dem picks would definitely be Kuchinich, Dean, and either CMB or Sharpton, in that order.

11. I don't buy this.

No matter what I do I get three candidates I detest (Clark, Nader, and Sharpton) at the top. This is bogus.

[the populist]

12. I took the test again, and I get

Lyndon Larouche (?!) on top with 73%. What the?

[IronLionZion]

13. clearly this site is for stance on the issues

not on personalities or backgrounds.

[Th1onein]

14. I'm a Socialist!

1. Socialist (84%)
Kucinich
Sharpton
Dean
Bush and a Libertarian candidate and some other guy who was Christian, were the last, in that order

[baldguy]

15. I'm not undecided.

I'm voting for the Democratic candidate this year.

[IronLionZion]

16. good choice
