I put in the opposite answer from what I believe, and got Obama.

Yuck.

Another for Fred, when answering correctly.

It sez my top 3 are:
Giuliani - 79.31%
Huckabee - 79.31%
Thompson - 79.31%
I'll have to do more research on Huckabee & Thompson, I already don't trust Giuliani on gun issues.

Better research McCain, too. Suddenly he's a contender.
Thompson had better get it in gear.

The whole thing is starting to make me sick. I was really happy to see Thompson getting in a while back but now it seems like he's not doing anything. He's just going through the motions with no emotion. What gives?

I like Huckabee for his stance on the fair tax but I'm afraid of his stance on illegals,,, it's not clear.

It almost likes like Ron Paul might be the one out of frustration.

McCain is a RINO and not to be trusted. IMHO
Romney looks like some kind of a used car salesman and the fact that his dad was a politician doesn't make it any easier for me to feel good with him.

what to do?

Mine said Duncan Hunter, 90 percent. Second Mike Huckaby and Romney, 80 percent. I'm afraid of Guliani, (gun control), and McCain, (co-sponsor with Teddy on campaign finance reform (incumbent protection bill), and co-sponsor with Pelosi on wet-back amnesty bill.
What to do???????

I tied Fred Thompson & Duncan Hunter for first. Guess I'll have to check into Duncan Hunter. John McCain and Mike Huckabee made my list too. Of the 4 I would vote for Thompson & Huckabee and feel ok about it.

You know its too bad we couldn't get all the candidates to take a test like this and then post it somewhere. That way you know exactly where the stand on what are some of the major issues.

Simplicity and politics I guess just don't go together.

Better yet, dont listen to anything they say. Check voteing records & supported legislation. If you do that without blinders Ron Paul stands out like a sore thumb. He is what we need.

My best match was Huckabee. If we voted today, he would get my vote.

I took it a few times, using slightly different answers and "priorities". Couple of times I took it I left all the priorities at "medium" for an "unweighted score". The only name that came up consistently in my "top picks", who I consider a viable candidate was Mike Huckabee. Bottom of the Barrel was Obama and Hillary. Ron Paul was a consistent middle of the pack. Top picks? Sam Brownback and a congressman from Colorado I honestly never heard of.
