An Enjoyable Poll to take!

This will take about 3 minutes to complete. It has a couple of neat interactive tools to play with as well.

I took this and wound up with Romney. Interesting how the Poll results are leaning conservative!

Rigged?

My wife got to thinking the thing was rigged to be conservative so she made me sit down and do it again and try and pick the moon-bat answers. NoWMDs, pull 'um home now, make all the illegals legal, universal health care, etc.

Got Dennis K as # 1 followed by Biden. She said "Hmmmm"

One of these days I'll get her to switch from D to R.

Thompson, Hunter, then Paul.

My libertarian leanings probably drew Ron Paul in there.

Various types of weighting changed 2 & 3, but Thomspon remained squarely in first.

I'm with Fred.

McCain, Giuliani, Romney. Looks like I'm more to the center then I'd like to admit. Must have been infected living all these years in Kalifornia... Out here I'm still a "fascist".

Brownback, it must be his flair for internal consistency.

Same here, I choose (By accident), Romney, Thompson, and Huckabee. I want Huckabee all the way. I knew that question about being a either a state Govenore or in the Military would be one of the big ones.

Interesting, those 3 plus Thompson have similar positions on Iraq (although Huckabee wants to have benchmarks for Iraq) and those three questions have a stronger weight to me personally than the same-sex marriage question.

Thompson ended up lower because of his global-warming answer. I don't think that our actions are actually having a significant effect on global temps, but I do think that alternate energy sources are essential from an economic and national security point of view.

Seems that I am out of touch with the majority (of the poll takers) in regards to tax reform and health care.

Btw, if I change the weight factor to put more weight on the Iraq War, Immigration and Tax Reform and very little weight on same-sex marriage and none on experience?

Giuliani, McCain, Romney

Thompson, Romney, Paul.
Not quite sure how Paul got in there as I don't consider him a serious candidate. Overall it has my political thoughts on target. Need to see more from Thompson though. I support him, but his lethargic approach to the race so far is off putting. Get with the program Fred or you stand to lose this man's vote!
