Registered Democrat

[mysid]

I took the Choose a Candidate Quiz and the candidate who "best matched my concerns" was someone I'd barely heard of (Chris Dodd). And close in second place was a tie between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

But here's the big surprise (not!), all of the Democratic candidates placed higher than any of the Republican candidates. I bet if my little brother or my dad took the quiz, their results would be the exact opposite. This is why we don't talk politics at home.

Your results were the same as mine - at least your top three. Actually Barack was before Hillary on my list.

Huh. I came up with Rudy Giuliani and I probably prefer Ron Paul on the whole. Less overall regulation/nannying, let states decide things more so there are safe haven states to move to if the federal government stays as crazy as it is.

That reminds me: I had a neighbor who says she just avoids speaking to her family all election year. :D

I got Ron Paul, which considering I'm a libertarian, isn't surprising. I don't like quizzes like that though - they're too black and white. My opinions on complex issues tend to be, well, complex. Yes/No doesn't cut it.

Thanks for posting that! I've got to get moving on picking the candidate I want to vote for in the primaries, since my party will actually have a primary this year. (I'm registered Republican, but not wedded to the party beliefs. I stay registered so I CAN vote in primaries, but I consider myself Independent.) But it was a useful jumping off point!

This is the third one of these "choose a candidate" type quizzes that I've taken, and they always come out a little different. This time I got Dennis Kucinich, which isn't surprising...he's always pretty close to the top for me if not the top candidate. Obama and Clinton were tied with some other folks behind Chris Dodd for third.

The Pennsylvania primary is so late that it probably won't make much difference, isn't it? :-(

well - I didn't get my boy, but I got close...how funny - 'cause the one I ended up with has never inspired any confidence for me...I'd have to think on how much of that is attributable to media packaging, and how much to intuition
