[Snoogans]

i think this thing is a little closer to correct then the other polls were. I was basically almost dead center, about middle between the Dems and Ron Paul

[Recyclerz]

I got closest to John Edwards, furthest from Fred Thompson.

Me too.

These things are kinda cool and useful but you definitely lose nuance.

[zentraed]

I liked their candidate map. Shows how similar everyone is... and then there's Ron Paul. I came up Obama.

My favorite part of the chart is, you can click and take out a certain issue, and it will move you. Like I noticed I was almost dead center on the chart. But if I took off my stance on guns, it moved me almost all the way to the group of Dems. That way you can see what views are considered what

[Snoogans]

And you have a small cone. I was almost dead center but my cone was around almost every picture

[Cleophus James]

[Snoogans]

[JPMNICK]

closest to rudy furthest from Obama

which is fine with me because the other day i was listening to O&A and they were talking about how he is a muslim, and there is no way in hell i am going to vote for some terrorist

[A.J.]

furthest away from Obama, bulls eye on Ron Paul

Same for me. But Ron Paul ain't getting my vote.

[Furtherman]

Closest to Edwards?! That suprised me.

[TheMojoPin]

Well, like most of these tests, it glosses over a lot, and Paul seems to get the biggest breaks by it not touching on any real economic policies or structuring the federal government. Odds are if you want less money to the UN and troops out of Iraq ASAP, he's gonna end up ranked highly.

[MadMatt]

Tell you what, ElectoralCompass is a really cool site!

The analysis/comparison of your answers to those of the candidates is extremely enlightening. I am a lot closer to several Democratic candidates than I thought.

I almost wish there were even more questions to answer. I am not sure who to vote for at this point, but the 'poll' sites are helping to point me in the right direction.

Of course they aren't the only thing I will use to make my decision, but it is a helpful starting point.

:clap:

So i guess it's Ron Paul or McCain for me.

[scottinnj]

I am closest to Ron Paul and furthest from Barack Obama.

I'm ready to cross party lines and vote for Obama, and I think Paul is a kook and would never vote for him.

Interesting.
