Which US Presidential Candidate has views most similar to yours?

imacowgirl2 · 02-28-2008, 04:59 AM

I was just given this REALLY neat website...you answer a few questions about how you feel on components of the major issues, and then it shows you a map of where your views relate to all the candidates' views.

http://www.electoralcompass.com/v/wsj

BUT, that's not even the coolest part! Then on the map you can click on ANY candidate and see exactly how you and they differ, and what they've said about the issue in the recent past...with the original sources of the info right there so that you can check them out for yourself!!!

So...go check it out! The more informed voters we have at the polls in November, the better!!!

That was kinda cool... And It was correct on who I like best as well...and who I like the least.

It was correct on who I like least.....but certainly not who I like best!

I am, apparently, closest in answers to Hillary Clinton.
But not really close to anyone at all in general. She doesn't agree with me on a lot of issues that I think are EXTREMELY important.
I agree with Ron Paul on a lot of the issues but then not on his Right-wing social policies like health care.

Very interesting..

I'm closest to John McCann and furthest from Barack Obama.

I just thought it was so cool that they actually provided sources for the info...how many times do you see "so-and-so feels this way about this" and you are left to wonder how reliable it actually is.

I'm not really sure where I stand on the health care, to be honest. So, I put "neutral".

I think my views are too radical for any American candidate to admit. They would be scared of the "S" word.
