1. Mine are: Edwards/Richardson (tie), Biden, Obama, Clinton, Kucinich

[Clark2008]

2. Mine put Kucinich on top.

I'll probably end up voting for him even though I don't think he'll win simply because he's the least bothersome to me.

I don't have a candidate.

[Generic Brad]

7. Kucinich came up for me as well

Looks like he's my guy.

5. The health care issue is framed by using

'universal' instead of the more correct 'single payer'. Universal & single payer are not the same thing.

[ProudDad]

20. Exactly -- if you're for single-payer, you're for DK only! (n/t)

[I_Will]

4. Kucinich 53/Gravel & Dodd 46/ "Likely Nominees" 41 & (much) lower

I must not be in the mainstream of Democratic thought :)

[Odin2005]

6. Bump for the night crowd n/t

[Odin2005]

8. *bump*

[Steve_in_California]

9. Obama's people put this out. It's total crap.

No matter how you answer, Obama usually comes out on top.

[DutchLiberal]

11. Conspiracy theorist, are you?

Obama didn't came up at the top, for me. I had Kucinich, Dodd and Gravel before Obama.

[Steve_in_California]

17. I asked one of Biden's staff to take the test and he got Obama as his number one.

The damn thing is rigged.

[DutchLiberal]

21. Then how come so many of us don't get Obama even in the top 3?

[Odin2005]

15. Minnesota Public Radio is "Obama's People"?

Jump to unjustified conclusions much? :eyes:

[Steve_in_California]

16. Not lately, little boy.

[DutchLiberal]

10. Interesting: Chris Dodd second, before Gravel!

Also the first time Hillary Clinton scores higher than Ron Paul. Paul does come before Joe Biden, though.

[Greyhound]

18. Dodd in third was a bit of a surprise...

as was Edwards coming below the tie of the corporate duo.

Kucinich, Gravel, Dodd, Richardson...

[ProudDad]

19. Kucinich first. Doesn't surprise me...

Although the Health Care question is not granular enough -- they don't have Single-Payer as an option. Also the immigration question didn't have my answer -- it was all build a fence bullshit...

Beyond that, I don't think much of this quiz. It's not granular enough -- too simplistic and un-nuanced.

Health Care is my deal killer and it's the reason why I'm NOT backing hillary...her plan STINKS worse than any other and she's not likely to change it much or sign on to Single-Payer...

Death penalty is another deal killer for me... hillary's pro-death...
