Turns out, I'm a Kucinich supporter according to the candidate calculator.

[TalkingDog]

with an 85% match in issues.

With the next 3 choices at:
Former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel (D) - 76.47%
Delaware Senator Joseph Biden (D) - 73.53%
New York Senator Hillary Clinton (D) - 70.59%

I thought I liked Edwards and he's way down the list!!!

Go figure.....

1. Kucinich

[Bread and Circus]

2. Gravel, Kucinich, Edwards, then Clinton for me...

but I want Obama to win nomination.

I like my bottom of the barrel:

Former Tennessee Senator Thompson (R) - 17.78%
California Representative Duncan Hunter (R) - 13.33%
Kansas Senator Sam Brownback (R) - 8.89%
Businessman John Cox (R) - 8.89%

[Bonobo]

3. I got him too. 90.33%

[Bitwit1234]

4. Suprise Kunich then Clinton and Edwards

THOMPSON WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PACK.

[Redneck Socialist]

5. Apparently I have more in common with Ron Paul than I do with Barack Obama. Weird.

My Middle of the pack list:

Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards (D) - 54.35%
Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd (D) - 53.62%
Texas Representative Ron Paul (R) - 53.62%
Illinois Senator Barack Obama (D) - 52.17%
Delaware Senator Joseph Biden (D) - 50.72%
Arizona Senator John McCain (R) - 33.33%
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (R) - 27.54%
Colorado Representative Tom Tancredo (R) - 21.74%
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) - 15.94%
California Representative Duncan Hunter (R) - 15.22%

I was an 85.51% match with Kucinich though. Me thinks this quiz is fucked up.

[Nimrod2005]

51. Stick with Obama then....nt

[never_get_over_it]

6. Kucinich

Interesting John Edwards, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden all have the same score for me - Edwards is my second choice to Kucinich - but I'm going to have a very hard time voting for Hillary - because I REALLY DON'T TRUST HER - Edwards I trust WAY MORE - but still have concerns....


Dennis Kucinich 89.47%
Mike Gravel 73.68%
Joseph Biden 71.05%
Hillary Clinton 71.05%
John Edwards 71.05%
Christopher Dodd 68.42%
Barack Obama 63.16%
Bill Richardson 60.53%

Ron Paul 36.84%
John Cox 26.32%
Rudy Giuliani 26.32%
John McCain 21.05%
Mike Huckabee 18.42%
Tommy Thompson 13.16%
Duncan Hunter 10.53%
Mitt Romney 10.53%
Tom Tancredo 10.53%
Sam Brownback 7.89%

[Der Blaue Engel]

7. I got Kucinich, too, 94.03%

My other top matches:

Mike Gravel (D) - 79.10%
Hillary Clinton (D) - 73.13%
John Edwards (D) - 70.15%

Based on personal "gut feeling" (or maybe just personal attraction?), I've been leaning toward Edwards. I don't think Kucinich or Gravel have a chance, so maybe I should reevaluate Clinton. From the attitude on DU, I'd become convinced she was one step up from a Republican.

Bottom of the barrel:

Tom Tancredo (R) - 11.94%
Mitt Romney (R) - 5.97%
Sam Brownback (R) - 4.48%
Duncan Hunter (R) - 3.73%

[mrreowwr_kittty]

8. My top 3 were Kucinich, Gravel, and Clinton. But I'm still supporting Obama

The calculator was a neat exercise but I think it was more a measure of degree of support for issues rather than the kind of issues supported. Electability and other intangibles are just as important to me when selecting a candidate. Obama has a certain "it" factor that I don't see in the other candidates. I also believe that he has the intelligence and character to rethink and reevaluate his positions as necessary.

[provis99]

9. Kucinich no surprise, then Gravel. But for me, Clinton is 3rd?!?

She's dead last in the list of candidates I would really support in the primary. As Lewis Black might say, "Something is askew..."

[southerncrone]

11. I love Lewis Black!!!!

[hfojvt]

10. Sorta odd that I matched both Biden and Kucinich at 74.55

and they put Biden as the top. Second, though was Edwards and Gravel at 70.91.

I thought the quiz was lame. No questions about either poverty or taxes - no wonder Edwards did not rank very high, and Gravel is the absolute last person I would vote for in the primary, because of his endorsement of the UnFairTax. Questions without specifics are inaccurate as well. Do I support Universal Health Care? Yes, but it depends on the plan. High, medium, and low also do not distinguish as much as a 1-9 rating would. A low that is a 3 is not too different from a medium that's a 4, but alot different from a high that is a 9.

[XemaSab]

12. Gravel, Kucinich, Obama, Biden.

No shockers there. :P

[Flabbergasted]

13. Kucinich, Gravel, Dodd, Edwards. My arch enemies Hunter, Thompson, Romney, Tancredo.

[illinoisprogressive]

14. Gravel 1st and Obama 2nd - both at over 90%

[Flabbergasted]

16. Who ru voting for at this point.

[Greyhound]

15. Kucinich, Gravel tie (no tax question), followed by Edwards and Biden. n/t

:kick:

I guess my disagreement with Dennis over the "assault weapons" ban, dropped him to tie with Gravel.

[ruiner4u]

17. eeek! I got Kman...

***If you say his name three times in front of a dark mirror he will appear***


Followed by....Biden, Clinton, and Dodd...

[gateley]

18. Kucinich, Gravel, Clinton, Edwards, followed by Biden

Edited to add I'm supporting Biden.

[FREEWILL56]

21. Wow, you got a 100%

and lots of high marks for some others.
Mine said Hilary 87.5% and I will not vote for her in the primary as I like Dennis. Mine showed Dodd, Edwards, and Kucinich tied at 79.17%. All at the bottom are the republicons of course with Hunter bringing up the rear at 8.33%.

[argyl]

19. 91.43% for Kuchinich.Then Gravel.Clinton and Obama tied for third.

[Debs]

20. Kucinich Gravel Edwards

Kucinich 97.67%
Gravel 75.83
Edwards 72.50
Bottom feeders

Brownback 13.33
Tancredo 11.67
Hunter 6.67
Romney 4.17

A tie for Hillary and Obama at 70 in the middle

[renie408]

22. Gravel, Kucinich, Biden and Obama. n/t

[Apollo11]

23. I think it IS a joke site. Not to be taken seriously.

Here are my results:

Gravel - 19.50%
Kucinich - 13.96%
Tommy Thompson - 9.40%
Romney - 9.27%
Giuliani - 8.32%
Biden - 5.69%
Cox - 4.03%
Clinton - 3.88%
Obama - 3.84%
Hunter - 3.75%
Paul - 3.59%
Tancredo - 2.95%
Fred Thompson - 2.85%
Dodd - 2.74%
Huckabee - 1.83%
Richardson - 1.69%
Brownback - 1.15%
Edwards - 1.07%
Mccain - 0.50%

Edwards is down there at the bottom - when I agree with all his positions !!!!! :eyes:

[TalkingDog]

27. On Edwards, I like his poverty work too... that's why he's still my top choice

So I agree witht the poster who suggested the quiz was biased based on the lack of inclusion on that issue.

30. Your results match mine!! Almost exactly. I too call bullshit.

Gravel - 19.35%
Kucinich - 13.89%
Tommy Thompson - 9.46%
Romney - 9.27%
Giuliani - 8.34%
Biden - 5.89%

Edwards - 1.07%
Mccain - 0.50%

[Flabbergasted]

32. You're looking at the most matched candidates column.

Your matches are in the center

[againes654]

53. I think what you have

is the % of times a candidate matches overall. I was surprised that Graval matched me most, Kucinich 2nd.

[Snarkturian Clone]

24. Gravel was first place for me. nt

[Kermitt Gribble]

25. I sent this link to my repub Aunt

She's a closet Dem (although she doesn't know it) so I couldn't wait to see her results. She ended up with Hillary and swears the site is a big joke. One of these days she'll realize that she's really a Dem.

[renie408]

26. Same thing with my relatives.

No matter how many times I tell them that the things they care about are ACTUALLY Dem issues, they still think they are Repukes.

[progressoid]

28. Kind of an abbreviated version of the Political Compass?

http://www.politicalcompass.org/test

[TechBear_Seattle]

29. I bet Kucinich heads a lot of lists

And yet, most people here will insist everyone for a candidate who does not represent their values as well. :eyes:

[yodermon]

31. Kucinich, Gravel, Edwards, Obama, Clinton, Biden, Dodd, Richardson n/t

[bunkerbuster1]

33. Wow. It's Dennis for me.

Nobody else is even very close.

Well, that's where I was leaning...

[BreweryYardRat]

34. Kucinich, then Edwards.

[ThatsMyBarack]

35. So am I....

:shrug:

[Roland99]

36. Kucinich!

:)

[apnu]

37. Interesting how Gravel is the most matched right now 18.96% thus far

Though my breakdown was:
Ohio Representative Dennis Kucinich (D) - 90.77%
Former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel (D) - 81.54%
Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards (D) - 80.00%
Illinois Senator Barack Obama (D) - 78.46%

[ChiciB1]

39. A Surprise, Huh? I Don't See Much For Clinton Though.... Edwards Is

in almost all of them.

[ChiciB1]

38. My Top Three Were...

Gravel (SURPRISE TO ME) Edwards (Right On) AND Richardson! I like what Richardson has to say and agree with many of his issues, but I'm not crazy about him and would pick Biden above him. Hillary is down the list for me, but I KNEW THAT!

[peacebaby3]

40. One of the interesting things I saw on this site is that they seem to also

be using all the participants answers to make a "composite candidate" and Obama is leading.

I got:

Kucinich: 93+
Gravel: 79+ (if they had asked about a flat tax he would have fallen a lot so he doesn't count to me)
Obama: 77+
Edwards: 71+

All of the other Dems are in the 60+, except Richardson, he's 58+. His record doesn't really match his current positions.

The highest republic is Paul with 49+. All the others are 27 and down to my bottom two candidates with Mittens coming in at 6.9 and Fred "Dumb as a Door Knob" Thompson coming in at 3.45. I seriously have to wonder what the heck I could agree with Thompson on 3.45% of the time?!?!?

[Debi]

41. I'm all over the place

Biden: 82.76%
Kucinich: 81.03%
Dodd: 76.72%
Clinton: 75.86%

What the heck does that say for me :shrug: other than proving why I'm still undecided! :crazy:

[mhatrw]

42. Edwards, Kucinich, Clinton, Dodd

[ThomCat]

43. Kucinich 89.47%

Gravel 78.95%
Edwards 71.05%
Biden 68.42%

Followed closely behind by Clinton, Dodd, Obama and then Richardson

[never_get_over_it]

44. TOO FUNNY

ok so I was looking up the url for this survey to send to emails and so I decided to answer the questions the EXACT opposite of what I really feel and I have to tell you some of the answers HURT me to answer the way I did - GUESS WHAT

When I answered 100% opposite of how I feel and did not weight the importance left them all at medium - I MATCHED FRED THOMPSON by 100% -

NOW THAT IS FUNNY....

[KoKo]

45. Kick...I'll have to check this out...but I think that the Right Drift of Dem Party

has a big disconnect with the populist aspirations of many Dems today. While both parties seem to have Melded in recent years there are still SOME OF US DEMS ...who want to stay in the Party...but are finding that there's such hard work fitting in that we almost are at the point of "tearing out our hair" in despair!

K&R!

[chemp]

46. Kucinich

Dennis Kucinich (D)
83.10% match

Former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel (D) - 74.65%
Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards (D) - 63.38%
Illinois Senator Barack Obama (D) - 61.27%

New York Senator Hillary Clinton (D) - 60.56%
Delaware Senator Joseph Biden (D) - 57.75%
Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd (D) - 54.93%
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson (D) - 54.93%
Texas Representative Ron Paul (R) - 47.89%
Arizona Senator John McCain (R) - 26.76%
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) - 24.65%
Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson (R) - 21.83%
Businessman John Cox (R) - 14.79%
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (R) - 14.79%

Colorado Representative Tom Tancredo (R) - 11.27%
Former Tennessee Senator Thompson (R) - 11.27%
Kansas Senator Sam Brownback (R) - 9.86%
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (R) - 7.04%

9% for Brownback?
7% Mittens?

Seems a bit high...

[LWolf]

47. Kucinich 90%

Gravel 75%

Edwards, Dodd, and Biden all at 61%

Richardson 59%

Clinton 58%

Obama 56%


And the bottom of the pack: Mitt Romney, 4.88%

[Mr. McD]

48. Mike Gravel (D) 84.62 %, Kucinich (D) - 84.62%

Interesting because they are my top two choices and at the moment it is a toss up.

Illinois Senator Barack Obama (D) - 73.08%
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson (D) - 73.08%

[riqster]

49. If DK is on the primary ballot, I will vote for him

...to send a message to the Dem party. I will then support our nominee to the hilt in the General.

That's part of the purpose of a primary, after all.

[Nimrod2005]

50. Damn, same here, I never knew...Maybe I kinda knew it?

88.61% match

[kenfrequed]

52. Kucinich

at 91.53%

[ProudDad]

54. Most USAmericans are pro-Kucinich positions -- and most don't know it (n/t)

[Disturbed]

55. If Dems and Independents were given a list of 20 Issues

to vote on without naming any candidates, Kucinich would win the Dem Nomination.
