I got Obama 7/10

Hilary in second with 7/10 and McCain in third with 6/10.

In my government class we took a survey somewhat similar to this. But we were allowed to rank the issues based on how important to us as well. On that one, I got John McCain with a 73% similarity, then Obama with a 71% similarity, and I forgot the third one. I think it was someone who dropped out.

Like any "survey" or "poll" that Votechooser is skewed, so I don't buy into it. I'm still undecided.

I'm at cnn.com right now... as I type... listening to the California debates... in Hollywood. It's an interesting exercise to watch it with the undecided voter "reaction" meter. It has been so strongly in favor of Hillary on all issues for nearly an hour now that I wonder if it isn't skewed as well.

I can tell you this much. It's obvious from the friendliness between the two right now, that we are surely looking at an Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama administration in January 2009.

While this is very vague and by no means a way to actually decide which candidate to choose, I think that it is a fine way to start thinking about it.

This is pretty cool because I got 9/10 Obama and 7/10 Edwards; I had previously decided that I was going to pick either one of these guys to vote for anyway. Of course, it doesn't mean that I completely agree with everything that they say; I chose the candidate whose views were closest to my own.

I got 8/10 for both Obama and Edwards.
I had no idea about Edwards, but if I were a US citizen, I'd be voting for Obama.
I'm Canadian by the way.
That's right I'm evil.

The only differences I had with Obama were when the troops should be pulled and whether government spending should increase or decrease.

I got Mitt with 6 agree, 4 disagree followed by Obama

Darkhell153 · Feb 01, 2008, 03:44 AM // 03:44

I got a "You pretty much think all these candidates suck and hope that the next elections produce more able candidates and that bush gets fired prematurely" note...is that bad?

poobert · Feb 01, 2008, 04:03 PM // 16:03

Obama and Clinton both 4/10

They were my "best match". Well, I'm not American so I dont have to choose anyway.

druggedchimp · Feb 01, 2008, 04:36 PM // 16:36

Surprise!

That's because the questions and answers were worded a certain way to make people answer a certain way. This "VoteChooser" is by no means a good way to calculate who you should vote for. In Huckabee's case, questions 3, 5, and 9 are especially notable in their bad wording and answers.

If you really want to see if your stance on issues is similar or same with the candidate you're voting for, visit the candidate's website for a clear and true picture of their position on issues and plans for their Presidency, instead of using this stupid and flawed "tool." In Huckabee's case, go here:

100% agree. For the love of informed decisions, do not use this tool to sway your vote in any form or fashion!

Good advice. And after you go to their websites, go beyond to other sources, biased and unbiased (if there really is such a thing), to learn their record of actions. Their actions speak louder than their rhetoric. What is their vote record in Congress? What legislation have they authored and/or supported or opposed passionately?

Compare their actual records with your positions on issues.
