With less than a year to go before the presidential election, many people are trying to find out more about the candidates. A fascinating web site has the ability to pick the person who best represents your values and beliefs. It's called The Select a Candidate Quiz. We set up the web site page on a laptop computer at the Salt Lake Roasting Company.
Julie Jensen is our volunteer. She's say she's 25 years old, from Salt Lake City and describes herself as a moderate who leans a bit toward the left. Julie filled out several questions on timely issues including, Iraq, immigration, the death penalty and abortion.
After she finishes the quiz, she's ready to see her results. She wants to find out whom the computer thinks she should vote for. Earlier she told us her favorite next November is probably Hillary Clinton. The computer says, "Chris Dodd, Obama, Clinton." Jenny says shes impressed, she says, "Maybe it knows better than I do."
We answered the same questions with a conservative bend and got our top four candidates as Duncan Hunter, Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney and John McCain.
To take the quiz yourself, go to the Select a Candidate quiz.
Thompson
Hunter
equal score... so that is the ticket for me..
Note..I WILL support the Republican candidate, WHOEVER it may be.
No way is it correct now to "teach" a lesson, or ever to allow any dedicated socialist the reigns of power or to appoint judges that we will live with for a generation.
For you purists, PLEASE think on this.
Interesting. I tied Thompson & Hunter but the only one of the entire group I agreed with on immigration was Tancredo (a close 2nd).
Hunter
Romney
Thompson
Damn. What did you answer to get Gravel ? Agreeing with his position to hang a photo of Karl Marx in every home in America ? :-P
You have got to be joking?
It’s a protest vote, really.
I refuse to support people just because “they’re not as bad as Hillary” -— if we don’t stand our ground, they’ll just keep forcing RINOs on us.
I guess I’d really go vote for the Constitution party candidate, or somesuch.
It may be significant, in that I am in New Mexico, and have my whole church group at least saying the same thing.
Only 2 (or 3?) votes, but elections turn on a couple hundred votes in NM.
We will stay home or protest vote in some way if there is a RINO candidate.
Kind of odd.
Tancredo...38, McCain...33 (???!!!), Hunter...31, Thompson...31.
I supposedly favor Ron Paul over Rudy. Gravel is at the bottom.
In the end if you don't consider character THE major reason to allow a vote for a given candidate, you end up voting for chaos, hell and a lottery ticket.
Surprise surprise. I am a Duncan Hunter supporter!
I don’t need a computer, I’m praying for a Thompsen/Hunter ticket...please.
Mine was a three-way tie between Thompson, Hunter and Ron Paul.
Just for ya-ya’s , I’m actually leaning Thomson, I tried to make Huckabee my man. He disagreed with me on taxes and energy no matter what button I pushed. I tried them all. The highest I could get it to go was 63.
McCain
Thompson
Hunter!
mine too.....Thompson / Hunter in ‘08
It did show Fred or Hunter as my second option.
I got about the same
McCain 58
Thompson 55
Hunter 55
No, I can’t go with McCain. Not after McCain-Feingold.
Second time I took it. Slightly different results.
I still favor Thompson/Hunter.

It gave my preference as “Ronald Reagan” first and “Barry Goldwater” second.
