Candidate match game

This is on the USA Today website........ I played the game.


Candidate match game - USATODAY.com
Here is how I did!
1...Hillary
2...Biden
3...Thompson

Not my choice at all!... worth a try.

Polls suggest Americans are concerned primarily with a few key issues in the 2008 presidential election. USA TODAY researched candidate positions on those top issues — Iraq, immigration and health care — as well as a few others that may influence the election. We then came up with 11 multiple-choice questions that would help differentiate the candidates and their stances.

As you answer the questions, you can roll over each color bar below the candidates' heads to find background on their positions. Your answers are matched with the positions of the presidential hopefuls to reveal the candidate (or candidates) closest to your views. The sliders on the right allow you to assign relative weights to match the importance that you place on each issue.

I'd be happy with any of the three!

I got

Kucinich
Gravel
Paul

But they asked questions about some stuff I don't much care about, didn't provide the answer I like for illegal immigration and didn't touch abortion, which would have knocked off Paul from my list altogether.

Amazing how many times it boils down to that issue.

I still don't get Gravel He's for the "fair" tax which is terribly regressive.

I think it's rigged.

"That issue" is extremely important to me. That is a huge deal breaker for me

So are the questions random? I didn't have a question about abortion.

Mine were:
Romney
Thompson
Richardson

No, me either, that's what I mean. There were questions about stuff I don't care about, but nothing about one of the major issues.
