Not quite sure where this comes from but fairly accurate except for the main surprise of Romney being ahead of Hunter. The rats are nailed almost perfectly.

[Red6]

Cute-

Hunter 26
(you have no disagreements with this candidate)

Which BTW is a candidate I would fully support.

[Kevmo]

Hunter 48

Very strange result with Kucinich.

This is exactly what I have thought in the past that computers could be used for.

But the weighting scale needs to be more adjustable. In stead of 1-2-3 it should be more like 1-10.

Here is where they get their information:

I notice a few errors in their ratings.. For example, Thompson was rated as supporting Embryonic Stem Cell research but has spoken out against Stem Cell Research. He didn’t have any specific votes on the issue, but he did vote to ban human cloning, which is the closest vote on that specific issue.

They also show Hilldog as supporting the border fence.. lol.. They have Biden unknown on Universal Health Care.. another lol..

[clamper1797]

Duncan Hunter .... we are in complete agreement

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Hunter 58

[dead]

It’s fun, but it doesn’t measure the believability you assign to each candidate’s stated position, like when Guiliani states with a straight face that he supports the second amendment.

[mnehring]

Also, everyone remember when voting that the “Net Neutrality” act isn’t what it sounds like.. it is supporting the government enforcing controlled neutrality (sic)...

With that, and the stem cell correction, I got this:

Thompson 36
(you have no disagreements with this candidate)

[Grunthor]

I am stunned that mine came up Romney. I much prefer Hunter but would vote for Romney if he is the candidate....

[mnehring]

Correction on post #5.. I just realized that this was referring to Tommy Thompson (who does support Embryonic Stem Cell Research) instead of Fred (who opposes).. This changes my list and puts Hunter on top.. Fred isn’t in their ratings..

[gridlock]

I wind up with Hunter leading, no matter what I do. Even if I purposely strongly disagree with him whenever I disagree with him and pick fights about things we do agree on, Hunter still winds up on the top of my list.

Something tells me there is a flaw, either accidental or intentional, in the methodology.

[darkangel82]

I got Romney 55, when I don’t agree with him much, and Hunter 50, which seems about right. The Dems were all in the negative numbers for me.

[Allegra]

I got Duncan Hunter at 46, (and he is my candidate) but Romney came up second, which is surprising.

[darkangel82]

I had Kucinich at minus-38 lol.

[Hoodlum91]

I got the same result with Thompson.

[mnehring]

I only got that by thinking it was Fred who opposes Stem Cell Research and changed my answer there.. Tommy Thompson supports it.. I wouldn’t have that result if I didn’t change my response thinking the rating was incorrect.
