Not a terribly surprising result

2007 September 17

I took this little online test where you answer some questions and it tells you which candidate best matches your views.

The highest ranked candidate for me was Ron Paul with a 77% match.  Hillary Clinton came in last, I’m proud to say, with a 26% match.  Fred Thompson was the highest ranking “top tier” candidate with a 60% match.  That still means he is wrong 40% of the time, though. :)

I had a problem with one of the issues as phrased.  It simply says “Embryonic Stem Cell Research.”  I have no problem with companies, universities, etc. using their own funds to conduct such research, but I do have a problem with federal financing of such endeavors.

    Ron Paul at 86.23%, followed by Gravel and Kucinich. Highest “top-tier” was either McCain or Thompson depending on what you call top-tier. Dead last was Barack Obama, surprisingly.

    No real surprises, every GOP beat every Dem.

    Romney at 92%, Thompson at 89%, Hunter at 86%
    Paul at 57%
    Top Dem Richardson at 42%
    Gravel last at 20%

    I didn’t realize ‘Network Neutrality’ was a big campaign issue.

    It was voted on by most who have been in Congress and it’s an internet poll so I can see them including it.
