Hey Jeff,

I am rather surprised:
Barack Obama- 78%
Mike Gravel- 75%
John Edwards- 75%

I suspect, I will probably vote for Hillary Clinton  Have the best day

Im for Hillary, but this came up Obama.
The reasons are interesting to check on the test results.

Interesting...
When I voted against my own interest and against my beliefs, it came up Huckabee then Rudy.
God save us if one of them get in.

I think it just shows how similar the positions are, especially when there's not a lot of nuance in the questions.  I showed up with Edwards in the lead, but liked Hillary's actual responses better when I read them.  But then, I'm for Hillary all the way -- health care is really complicated to change and it's not as if the Clintons were the first to fail (the failure of universal health coverage was one of the unfortunate downsides of the Nixon impeachment, and other presidents tried and failed as well).  The experience of actually living through trying and not getting it to pass will both inform and motivate her in a way that the other Democrats really can't match.

Did anyone see that Caroline Kennedy is endorsing Obama?  It was in the NY Times.

I got 78% for Obama

I took that test a bout 1-2 weeks ago and was told that I was most closely aligned with Bill Richardson and furtherst from Fred Thompson, both of whom have dropped out of the race.

This time I am closest aligned with

John Edwards         79%,
Michael Gravel  ???  78%
Barak Obama          76%
Hillary CLinton          71%

And furthest from:
John McCain          60%
Huckabee             54% (this scares me)
Guiliani                 50%
Mitt Romney         49%

That was scarey!  The person I "aligned" with the most I'd never, ever vote for.  But, we only agreed on 2 of the topics - taxes and the war.  Of course, no Independent candidates were considered.

I got 88% for Gravel  :o and 76% for Clinton, Hilary, and Edwards.

My furthest was Rudy with 33%.  Good, he is a douche.

Post by: Winiroo on January 28, 2008, 02:38:27 pm
I see all of you have 88% 78, 79, 80% ect.

I'm a little freaked out cause my results said for Mike Gravel 100%, Mitt Romney 100% and John Edwards 100%, Hillary Clinton 100%, John McCain 100%, Rudy Giuliani 100% similarity, Ron Paul 100% Mike Huckabee 100% similarity. I did the dang thing twice and got the same results.

Either something is wrong with the page or everyone likes Wendy.


BTW I've never even heard of Mike Gravel. In case you haven't either here is the old guys info.

Mike Gravel was born on May 13, 1930. He is a Democrat from Alaska. He served the state of Alaska as a Senator in the U.S. Senate from 1969 to 1981. He is primarily known for his efforts in ending the draft following the Vietnam War. While a Senator, Gravel spoke the Pentagon Papers into public record.

Bear,
Yes I did hear about Caroline K was for Obama. Wow did her Uncle Ted come out swinging hard for Obama. He was all over Hillary...I heard that he recently had a phone call with Bill, and Bill really pissed him off!
It showed in his speech supporting Obama.

Should make for an exciting few days if nothing else.

I got Mike Gravel followed by Clinton and Obama. Don't really care for any of them...OK at the moment I am not really liking anyone left in the election. I like Clinton, but that negative crap has turned me off...being positive in the race was what made me like Bill in 92. I hate the sniping back and forth. I used to really like McCain but he has flipped on every major issue since 2000 and that is driving me nuts. The rest of the viable Republicans can stuff it as far as I am concerned. The Democrats are pissing me off....the Independents haven't really shown their faces yet.

Tonight at the State of the Union, Obama flat out turned his face on Clinton...I thought that was rude. She was shaking hands with Kennedy. Would have been nice to see them shake hands at least as a sign of healing. Course in DC my vote is useless really. It is solid Obama territory here, and DC always goes to the Democrat in the general election. Even Mondale won DC in 84 against Reagan, the only other "state" he won besides his home state of Minnesota.

 I think when it comes down to a general election and moderate voters, Ted Kennedy's endorsement of Obama may really help Hillary.

Mitt Romney 72% similarity
Hillary Clinton 70% similarity

Rudy Giuliani 67% similarity

Oddly, came up 66% for Obama.  60% for Hillary.  And 55% for Ron Paul.
I liked Edwards.  Although he is no longer in the race, I came up 61% for him.

I really have bad news for Obama supporters

The first time I was most closely aligned with Bill Richardson...and then he dropped out

The second time I was most closely aligned with John Edwards...and then he dropped out

This time I got Barak Obama...if the last two are any guide of my ability to get it right, well - Let me introduce the next President of the United States:

Wini,

You have just been getting the weirdest results....

I'll say--although perhaps it's just indicative of a person who doesn't tow a particular party line, and is highly independent.

I can understand it, because even though I'm firmly to the left, there are a few issues that I easily see both sides on. 

It kind of rocks in a way.

Since the Socialists aren't fielding a candidate in my state - or anywhere much to speak of - these are the results from this test:

Mike Gravel - 91%

Hillary Clinton - 75%

Barak Obama - 73%

Its anyone's game.

Its late and I guess I am tired because the questioneer didnt work for me..
I am definety going with Hillary..

Lets hope she can grab up these last two states..
She has much more experience than Obama..

I heard that men over 50  will vote for Obama, just not to have a women president.
ummm....
Men have been presidents, black men got to vote before women, so I think its time
to have a women as president...

Men have done enough and look where we are at  :( its not a good place,is it? :(

So I say Hillary all the way...

btw, after Ted and Carol Kennedy went to support Obama, a few weeks later you saw Robert Kennedy's son, backing Hillary... ???
Ted did tell Bill Clinton to back down on campaining for his wife but Bill refused so they
went to the darkside........... ::)

O RLY?

She's still never going to exceed Obama's pledged delegate count, and I don't see her even catching up with his current 600,000 lead in the popular vote.  Do you really expect her to win by superdelegates overturning that?  If you do, then basically you're carelessly advocating a major rupture in the Democratic Party as an institution, which is completely irresponsible.

But then the Clintons have never been huge on personal responsibility.
