Answer the 11 questions below to find out which candidates are most aligned with your views and opinions. You may skip questions if you do not want them factored into the results. This quiz is not meant to pick your candidate for you. It is designed to inform the public of the various stances candidates make. Results are not scientific. The WQAD candidate survey is based on the original SELECT A CANDIDATE survey developed by Minnesota Public Radio and posted at: http://minnesota.publicradio.org/projects/ongoing/select_a_candidate/.

[Rastus]

Thompson
Hunter

Didn’t even bother to look at the rest. The order should be flipped for me. Said I disagreed with them on immigration, but my position seems pretty close. I agreed strongly with:

I favor stiff fines for employers who hire illegal immigrants, a security fence along the border, and a denial of citizenship to children born here of parents who are in the U.S. illegally. I oppose any form of amnesty.

I think this shows the clash between issues and personae. I am surprised that in my case McCain finished ahead of Rudy in my case. My top 3 though, were not a surprise....

[kinoxi]

My results:

Hunter
Thompson
Romney

[Zuben Elgenubi]

1.McCain = 74
2.Thompson = 60

Maybe try the Demoncratic Underground? Heehee. MUST be skewed.

[Fiji Hill]

McCain (46)

Thompson (45)

Hunter (45)

Romney (40)

For someone who's long been huntin' with Hunter, I was surprised to find out that I'm actually a McCainiac.

[Darkwolf377]

Mcain, Hunter, Thompson...

Edwards on the bottom--a 1. But Hillary isn't here--does that mean she's a 0 in my book?

[coincheck]

Thompson-70, Hunter-70, McCain-66, Obama-15, Hitlery-5

[river rat]

From the outcome of my quiz — I’m convinced the program code to select the best fit is rigged....

There is no way McCain is more in line with my thinking than Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson.

[Greg67]

You are perfectly right, I checked nu ethanol and environmentalist agenda as limiting progress and they give me that McCain is in step with my opinion? Maybe they did not reed McCain-Lieberman

[Windflier]

Clinton = 5
Obama = 5

These two are down in the very basement of my list. Can’t say I’m surprised, but what’s so illuminating is how strongly they disagree with me on EVERYTHING, except the death penalty.

It’s just scary that so many millions of Americans are supporting such contra-survival positions, and politicians who are just plain selling out the very concept of America. Just scary...

[lkco]

Thompson & Hunter 70
McCain 66
Romney 54
Huckster 49
Paul 48
Rudy 39
Richardson 15
Obama 8
Hillary 5

Only surprising thing was Paul. I did another quiz that called me a “libertarian radical-leaning anarcho-capitalist”. I thought he’d be closer to my opinions. Maybe he’s just a nut.

[Smokin' Joe]

Fred and Hunter, tied at 69.

[Windflier]

You strike me as someone who’s trolling here from DU. I’ve seen you making similar snide comments for months. What an asinine comment.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Well, you are wrong.

I seldom post after 12 midnight EST, so I don't know where you've seen my posts before. I've been here since 1998 and, to this point, have never been accused of trolling.

So either we become FRiends tonight or you can shove it. Your choice, since you brought it up. Private email me if you so choose. It's OK by me. My candidates are pretty accurate, as I posted above.

[snarkpup]

Although I would rank McCain somewhere between the Hildebeast and Kusinich, their poll says McCain's my guy.

A couple of election cycles ago, I remember McCain going berserk during a debate with George W. Bush and Alan Keyes. His performance, like an out-of-control five-year-old, convinced me that he has a mental or emotional instability that should disqualify him from being anywhere near nuclear triggers.

If the poll had included questions on the McCain-Feingold Incumbent Protection Act and mental stability, I think the results would have been different.

[Peacekeeper357]

Romney 56% Thompson 53% I’m still voting for Fred. What is the name Mitt short for?

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Crim: highlight the response, then RIGHT click SELECTION source. Then COPY from the selection source pull down menu. Then it's on the clipboard. Then come back to FR and "paste" into your comment.

Violla! Nice, formatted response.

Yours truly,

Zuben

[radiohead]

Fred Thompson. Guess I can keep the hats, shirts, pins, buttons and stickers.

LOL! Same here.
