Just for fun. Here's a site to help you choose whom to vote for in 08.

[saltpoint]

The site is fun. Here it is:

http://www.selectsmart.com/plus/select.php

In the upper-righthand corner is an icon that says "Presidential Candidate Selection: 2008 Front Runners."

Click that, and a survey appears. You indicate where you stand on an issue, and how great a priority it is to you compared with other issues.

At the end, the software tells you where you fall on the ideological scale, and lists candidates by the degree of compatibility with your selections.

It's interesting also to see how INcompatible you are with GOP candidates. Your last 5 tell you as much in some ways as your first 5.

I've taken the survey 4 times now and in various order, the results are the same: Kucinich, Kerry, Edwards, Gore, Feingold, Clark etc., and the last 3 are all Republicans: Tancredo, Allen & Brownback.

[uppityperson]

1. my top ones

(100%) 1: Sen. Russ Feingold (D) Information

26. It would make a great Cabinet no matter which was president, eh?

[Jersey Devil]

3. Here's how mine came out

(100%) 1: Sen. Russ Feingold (D) Information
(98%) 2: Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D) Information
(87%) 3: Sen. John Kerry (D) Information
(85%) 4: Ex-Gen. Wesley Clark (D) Information
(85%) 5: Sen. Joseph Biden (D) Information
(82%) 6: Ex-Sen. John Edwards (D) Information
(80%) 7: Ex-VP Al Gore (D) Information

My real first choice, by far, is Al Gore.

[saltpoint]

28. I see you're for Al Gore there toward the end of your post.

There's more and more talk that he's getting interested in a run.

[calimary]

38. My top three were Kucinich, Feingold, Gore.

Works for me.

People such as Edwards, Kerry and Clark were in the top ten.

[saltpoint]

4. Post your bottom 5/ 6, too. (Likely they're Rethugs. ) That's fun, too.

[incapsulated]

5. Don't like the either/or questions, but...

(100%) 1: Sen. Russ Feingold (D)
(97%) 2: Ex-Gen. Wesley Clark (D)
(94%) 3: Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D)
(89%) 4: Sen. John Kerry (D)
(86%) 5: Sen. Christopher Dodd (D)

Edit to add bottom five. :) Edit again, I left out Hagel at the bottom. That is strange, indeed, he isn't anywhere near as bad as some of these creeps. I wonder why?

Sen. John McCain (R)
Ex-Rep. Newt Gingrich (R)
Rep. Tom Tancredo (R)
Sen. George Allen (R)
Sen. Sam Brownback (R)

[saltpoint]

6. I agree that the site is too restrictive. I'm only throwing it out there

for fun.

You are a much more complex voter than that survey, no question.

[incapsulated]

7. I left a couple of them "neither"

But still, it's pretty accurate and fun. :)

(everyone loves a quiz, heh)

[saltpoint]

8. Hi, incapsulated. Would you tell my old home city 'hi' for me?

I get back there from time to time, but I miss the daily energy of the place.

[incapsulated]

9. Will do!

:hi:

Weather is great right now, sunny and mild.

Then comes the godawful heat and humidity, you wouldn't miss it then!

[Adelante]

10. Heh

Thanks for that reminder :hug:

[incapsulated]

11. That's right...

[Adelante]

12. Not far off

(100%) 1: Sen. Russ Feingold (D) Information
(97%) 2: Ex-Gen. Wesley Clark (D) Information
(89%) 3: Sen. Christopher Dodd (D) Information
(86%) 4: Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D) Information
(84%) 5: Sen. Hillary Clinton (D) Information



(25%) 21: Rep. Tom Tancredo (R) Information
(25%) 22: Sen. George Allen (R) Information
(24%) 23: Sen. John McCain (R) Information
(17%) 24: Sen. Sam Brownback (R) Information
(14%) 25: Sen. Chuck Hagel (R) Information

I can't say I ever think about Christopher Dodd. That one's curious. Is he sounding like he's running?

[incapsulated]

14. I always liked Dodd...

He came up unexpectedly on my top five, too. I wasn't aware he was making noises?

[Adelante]

16. I like him, too

I'm surprised to see him in the 2008 crowd, though.

[saltpoint]

15. Dodd's been mentioned, and evidently is interested. The field is

getting crowded, isn't it?!

Your last five are REAL similar to my last five also.

[incapsulated]

18. I edited that I left out Hagel..

He was on the bottom of my list, like WesDem. I wonder why?

[AbbyR]

13. My top ten

These are my top 10, in order, with Kucinich at 100 Percent: Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Sen. Russ Feingold, Ex-Gen. Wesley Clark, Sen. John Kerry, Sen. Joseph Biden, Ex-VP Al Gore , Sen. Christopher Dodd, Ex-Sen. John Edwards, Gov. Tom Vilsack, Sen. Hillary Clinton

[saltpoint]

17. Dodd's popping up a lot. I think he holds his own in news interviews

after so much experience.

I admire the way he doesn't allow the reporter to shortchange him on the questions/answers.

[Adelante]

23. I'll have to start keeping an eye on him

I only get one news channel here, but I'll start checking the web more.

[yngliberal]

19. Mine

(100%) 1: Sen. Russ Feingold (D)

(82%) 5: Sen. Christopher Dodd (D)

[saltpoint]

21. High compatibility percentages there.

[Nederland]

20. My #1 - Sen. Evan Bayh (D)

...but what was really suprising was that Giuliani showed up as #3.

[abbiehoff]

22. I'd be thrilled with any of the top 4 as actual candidate.

Top 5:
(100%) 1: Sen. Russ Feingold (D)
(89%) 2: Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D)
(88%) 3: Ex-Gen. Wesley Clark (D)

(20%) 22: Rep. Tom Tancredo (R)
(19%) 23: Sen. Chuck Hagel (R)
(16%) 24: Sen. George Allen (R)
(10%) 25: Sen. Sam Brownback (R)

I'm kind of disgusted that I have Frist at 24%. I don't think I like him nearly that much.

[saltpoint]

24. And there's ol' Bill Frist toward the bottom. Yeah! You've got

a strong blue list there.

[Awsi Dooger]

27. Here's my list, top to bottom

Fun site! I still choose Warner, who didn't do too bad, coming in 4th. I was shocked my second choice Edwards fared so poorly. Scares me a bit that Romney was the highest Republican on the list. I'm thinking it's more and more likely that's the direction the GOP will head.

[saltpoint]

29. I think ol' Sam Brownback is finishing last on a lot of lists!

This is the first I've seen Biden up in first, I think.

[Awsi Dooger]

30. Hey, I have high Democratic compatibility numbers!

Six candidates at 91% or higher. In looking at the other lists so far, everyone else has three or less candidates above 90%.

I knew I agreed with Biden on tons of issues. But he's not a serious threat for the nomination.

Mostly, I was relieved Warner finished so high at 94% since I've championed him for about a year.

[saltpoint]

33. You do. Over 75% is pretty reasonable, seems like, and over 90% is

pure blue flame!

You're doin' great.

[incapsulated]

36. hey!

I only have 3 in the 90 percentile range, are you sayin' I ain't a real Dem?

:mad:

:)

Dems on top, Pukes on bottom. I'm good.

46. I was complimenting your results!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :hi: :dem:

48. Oh, ok then

Never mind. :D

[calimary]

39. brownback was on the bottom of mine.

Or is that brownnose?

[saltpoint]

47. Or even "brownshirt". That guy's bad news.

32. Don't forget that she has more money ready to spend on 06 and 08

than most of the rest of these folks combined.

She will be a formidable opponent, seems like.

[Awsi Dooger]

34. I'm increasingly worried about Mitt Romney

I posted this survey on another site, with a blend of right and left leaning posters. Among the posters who have taken the survey there, it's amazing how high Romney fares among people with balanced lists, ones alternating D and R in their order. Romney had 94% on two lists, one with Hillary on top and the other with Clark on top. Both of those posters had Guiliani a bit further down then a mixture of D and R all the way through. Here, we see nothing but D at the top then nothing but R at the bottom. Understandable and proper, but I'm not sure we're the best sample of who might fare best in a general election. I thought Romney had no chance at the nomination or general election six months ago, but more and more evidence indicates I was wrong. Right now, I hope they don't nominate him.

[saltpoint]

49. Hi, Awsi Dooger. Interesting observations on Mitt Romney.

I'm getting a little edgy about him myself, too, but I don't know if it's because he's becmoing more effective or because I never liked him in the first place & he's gotten more exposure.

Either way, I kind of hope he drops out somewhere in the early going.

[Awsi Dooger]

55. I hated him in the first place

The most dangerous and despicable type of Republican in my book, someone who can feign moderate. Then you get him in office and the wheels crank straight right. Due to party pressure, if nothing else.

We were supposed to win the Mass gov race in '02, based on several prominent trends. So I paid attention when he defeated Shannon O'Brien rather handily. It couldn't be discounted. They were able to present Romney as an outsider and successful manager based on his stewardship of the Salt Lake City Olympics. No doubt the same tactics would be tried as a presidential nominee.

I agree, I hope he bombs in the early going but it's not going to happen, based on the showing in that straw poll, and basic handicapping. Rove supposedly is high on his candidacy.

[saltpoint]

58. Let's stick with our fervent hope that he's driven out of the race in the

early stages.

And while we're at it, let's hope Karl Rove watches the primary season from a jail cell.

[American Tragedy]

35. I'm mainly a civil liberties voter so needless to say Repubs rate VERY low

There's no overlap whatsoever - the highest Republican for me, Huckabee, is still ten points below the lowest Democrat, Bayh.

Highest
(100%) 1: Sen. Russ Feingold (D)
(94%) 2: Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D)
(88%) 3: Ex-Gen. Wesley Clark (D)
(87%) 4: Sen. John Kerry (D)
(85%) 5: Sen. Joseph Biden (D)
(82%) 6: Ex-VP Al Gore (D)
(80%) 7: Ex-Sen. John Edwards (D)

Lowest
(32%) 19: Ex-Rep. Newt Gingrich (R)
(31%) 20: Sen. Majority Leader Bill Frist (R)
(27%) 21: Sen. John McCain (R)
(26%) 22: Sen. George Allen (R)
(18%) 23: Rep. Tom Tancredo (R)
(14%) 24: Sen. Chuck Hagel (R)
(7%) 25: Sen. Sam Brownback (R)


Not exactly a nuanced quiz, but the outcome sounds about right.

I don't even know who Senator Brownback is, but apparently I don't like him one bit.

[saltpoint]

50. You are far too decent a person for us to tell you about Sam Brownback.

In fact, no one deserves that.

(He's a fundy whackjob Republican Senator from Kansas. You DEFINITELY have good instincts if Brownback finished last in your choices.)

[American Tragedy]

71. Thank you, Crusoe, I'll trust your judgment.

I should keep myself better informed on the Scary Section of the Congress, but studying the morally repugnant does tend to wear on my health. I wasn't even able to turn on the news for almost six months after the 2004 election without feeling physically and emotionally overwrought.

[saltpoint]

72. Well, Brownback qualified for the Nightmare Section, but there's

good news: it's going to be a lot bluer in November than it is now, and bluer still in 08.

I feel it in my BONES! Go, Democrats.

[guidod]

37. That was fun and very close to reality.

Top Five

(100%) 1: Sen. Russ Feingold (D)

(26%) 25: Sen. Sam Brownback (R)

[saltpoint]

51. Interesting bunch there for your top five, and wait... what's this --

-- why, yes, another last-place finish for Sam Brownback!

[guidod]

67. Was he last in all of them you saw?

[saltpoint]

70. He's been coming in either way down there or dead last in a lot of

people's results, yes.

And I'm not surprised. Brownback is so far right he's off the chart.

[jillan]

40. That was fun - and on the very bottom was

Sam Brownback - I CAN'T STAND HIM!:headbang:

So they were right on!

[guidod]

41. From the lists I've looked at

he's at the bottom of everyones list.

[jillan]

42. Right where he belongs! n/t

[JerseygirlCT]

43. LOL - what a surprise - Sam Brownback is at the bottom

of the list!

[saltpoint]

52. Yes. Ol' Sam is really getting kicked down the basement stairs in this

survey, isn't he.

And he richly earns that spot, too.

[MH1]

44. They screwed up on the first question.

Edwards co-sponsored the IWR yet they call him "dovish"?

Kerry has a history of being against committing troops even though he did vote for IWR. (refer back to Iraq 1, for one thing.)

Both have claimed they regretted their vote on IWR (when Edwards said that did he mention that he regretted cosponsoring it?)

Sorry, to be so wrong on the first question tells me they still need to work on the construction of this "selector" a little bit.

[saltpoint]

53. A more useful study would ask four or five layers deep into each of

the issues, then match them to some kind of accumulative "total" match in the candidates' records.

This is on the brief side, I readily admit. But it looked like a fun diversion for a Thursday evening.

Plus, we're really kicking the blazes out of Sam Brownback!

[GreenArrow]

(13%) 25: Sen. John McCain (R) Information

I think I'd actually prefer Kucinich to Feingold, but I could live with either of them. McCain, as foul as he is, and he IS repugnant, would get my vote before Condoleeza Rice, one of the most utterly repellent public figures I have ever witnessed.

[saltpoint]

54. O wow are you and I ever in agreement on Dr. Rice. Bingo City.

On some people's results, Christopher Dodd and Bill Richardson have done respectably well. I wonder if it means they have more appeal than I've given them credit for so far.

I may have to readjust some predictions as the months go on.

And McCain beats out Brownback by one position in your poll. I definitely like it that both those guys are last and next-to-last there.

Good goin'.

[mr.alleycat]

56. OMG! Brownback?

I live under his thumb.
Him and Roberts help cover Dubya.

[saltpoint]

57. Well, he's running for president in 08, and you can relax at least a

little, because he's having a horrible night here among DUers.

[mr.alleycat]

80. Sorry but I live in a Red State

I've learned never to relax:bounce:

[saltpoint]

83. Well, that makes you brave. It has got to be tough for those of us

who are blue voters in red states.

Always an uphill climb.

Damn Republicans. Let's just hope that overall there are fewer of them after Nov. 7 than there are right now.

[orleans]

59. this is a fun little quiz

100% feingold
94% kerry
93% kucinich
91% biden (???)
82% clark
80% dodd
78% gore (only 78%?)

on the lowest end
brownback
tancredo (a bit higher)
hagel (a bit higher)
gingrich (a bit higher)

who picked this handful?

WHY ISN'T JOHN CONYERS ON THIS LIST???

(not that he'd run, not that he'd win...but i think he's great)

[saltpoint]

60. Another bone-crushing humiliation for Sam Brownback!

And I was surprised, too, about Gore. I thought he'd place higher.

It's possible the survey isn't current to his last year's speeches and is using his 2000 platform.

Just a guess.

62. Many of these lists look similar. With a few differences in degree,

we're all coming out pretty blue.

And that's a good thing.

The red candidates are toward the bottom of most of these lists, with Sam Brownback leading for "least compatible" candidate.

[AmericanDream]

63. Top Two: Al Gore and John Edwards

[saltpoint]

65. And I bet when either of them walks onto the convention stage,

either as part of our ticket, or as well-wishers to whoever is, that the place gives them a bone-deep welcome that will bring down the rafters.

Damn, but I like our bench.

Could be its own thread

[saltpoint]

69. Thanks, Awsi Dooger. Just finished taking it. I am right in the

middle of Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama.

With that stat in mind, it's probably not worth his while for Sam Brownback to send me a request for campaign contributions!

Great survey. Thank you for putting in front of us.

--and you are quite right: you should begin a separate thread just for this. Definitely.

[OneBlueSky]

73. these are, apparently, my presidential preferences . . .

Notes:

1) My actual preference -- based on electability and other issues -- is # 6 on the list . . . Al Gore.
2) I wouldn't, under any circumstances, consider anyone below #13 (not to imply that all above #13 are acceptable -- they're not).

[nadinbrzezinski]

75. Feingold, Kucinich and Clark top my list

[saltpoint]

85. They're three folks with fervent, loyal followers, and it's just my

opinion here, but I believe Senator Clinton, deemed the frontrunner for the 08 nomination by media and some others, will need a lot bigger push to finish ahead of your three there, plus maybe two or three others.

I could see her placing first, but with no more than a 28% share of the caucus vote in Iowa, but I think the more likely outcome is that she will finish no better than third or fourth, and possibly as low as fifth or sixth.

And the three people you've got there would be very likely contenders for those higher positions.

76. No surprise, Feingold up top

Top Five:

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D)
Sen. Russ Feingold (D)
Sen. Joseph Biden (D)
Sen. John Kerry (D)
Gov. Bill Richardson (D)

Bottom Five:

Sen. Majority Leader Bill Frist (R)
Rep. Tom Tancredo (R)
Sen. John McCain (R)
Sen. Chuck Hagel (R)
Sen. Sam Brownback (R)

[saltpoint]

88. Not such a bad top group at all, Dr.Gonzo. Richardson is coming up

on a few people's lists. He may be a well-positioned candidate, if not for president then for the VP slot. He knows a thing or two about Immigration and Energy, and of course his Spanish is a huge plus.

And yet another staggering loss for Sam Brownback down there dead last.

86. I think a lot of people are finding that Joe Biden is doing fairly well

with their choices. His public personna may not match his voting record, at least in the perceptions of some voters.

And there at the dead-last position: Sam Brownback!

I love it.

[nickinSTL]

Trailing miserably. That survey includes the Republicans even if the percentages are laughable.

87. This survey is not a perfect one, but your results look pretty good to me.

There is after all a world of difference between your top several and your bottom several.

And once more, it's Sam Brownback, bringing up the rear.

[PassingFair]

82. My top three: Kucinich - Feingold and ....

Biden? WTF!

I'm against his HAIR even!

[saltpoint]

84. You've got three capable souls there. Probably your next five or ten

aren't bad either.

I'm also betting your bottom 6 or 8 or so are Republicans.

Sounds to me like your instincts are excellent.
