4. Not Bad!
Some of the selectors I've taken in the past have been trash. But, this one (other than having 2 and 3 swapped) got it about perfect.

1. Kucinich, Cong. Dennis, OH - Democrat (100%)
2. Dean, Gov. Howard, VT - Democrat (94%)
3. Moseley-Braun, Former Senator Carol IL - Democrat (93%)
4. Gephardt, Cong. Dick, MO - Democrat (87%)
5. Edwards, Senator John, NC - Democrat (87%)
6. Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat (85%)
7. Sharpton, Reverend Al - Democrat (80%)
8. Graham, Senator Bob, FL - Democrat (75%)
9. Lieberman Senator Joe CT - Democrat (73%)
10. Libertarian Candidate (51%)
11. Bush, George W. - US President (11%)
12. Phillips, Howard - Constitution (11%)
13. LaRouche, Lyndon H. Jr. - Democrat (0%)

PS This also tells quite a bit about my politics if you read it backwards..

PPS Like my avatar doesn't :eyes:

5. Kucinich, then Dean
1. Kucinich, Cong. Dennis, OH - Democrat (100%)
2. Dean, Gov. Howard, VT - Democrat (99%)
3. Moseley-Braun, Former Senator Carol IL - Democrat
4. Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat (88%)
5. Green Party Candidate (86%)

No surprises here, although I would have flip-flopped Kerry and Moseley-Braun.

6. That was fun -- good to know I'm backing the right candidate for me!
1. Dean
2. Sharpton
3. Kucinich
4. Mosely-Braun
5. Graham
6. Kerry
7. Gephardt
8. Edwards
9. Lieberman

I wonder if Lieberman is going to be almost everyone's #9.

Also, I was surprised that Kerry was as low on the list -- I guess all the anti-Iraq candidates got ranked above him.

7. If you're really brave, try the political philosophy selector
#1 Anarcho-Communist
#2 Liberal Socialist
#3 American "Liberal"

10. Amazed how accurate the two were!
The Dem candidate selector placed me for Dean as my no 1
The Political philosophy selector placed me at "Neo Liberal"...

I'm impressed!

8. What's wrong with Vilsack?
He does really badly in my results. What are his views on some major issues that would make him worse than Bush, or is this selector thing just stupid?

9. Kucinich (100%), Kerry (92%), Dean (89%)
Edited on Thu Aug-28-03 11:09 PM by blkgrl
I used to like Kucinich but I was turned off at the way he folded up on Chris Matthew's show that day-- I need a President who will be tough and not easily punked.

Kerry-- haven't really heard much of his message-- to me, he just looks very fake and phony.

Dean--ahh-- a breath of fresh air. He is one of my top choices right now. He has the views, the attitude, and the presence that I prefer.

14. Strange
I'm 100 percent for Kucinich, 99 percent for Dean and 51 percent for the guy I actually like, Wesley Clark. And I agree with Clark's stated positions...this was an intesting exercise, thanks.

17. It Said I Was 100% Dean
Edited on Fri Aug-29-03 08:42 AM by DemocratSinceBirth
That demonstrates one of several things including:

Dean is not as liberal as some of his supporters think he is.


I am more liberal than I thought I was.


or


Dean is pretty much a garden variety liberal and he is to the right of most Duers, even his most ardent suporters. IMHO, most DUers are to the left of garden variety liberals.

21. This is fundamentally flawed
It takes too little into account. The ranking was so totally off and changed so dramatically by altering a single position.

I can't even take this nonsense with a grain of salt.
