SelectSmart Fun
If you're a little overwhelmed by the number of candidates running for President in 2004, try the SelectSmart Presidential Selector. Just answer a few questions and the selector will try to tell you which candidate has views most similar to yours. It even ranks, on a percentage basis, how much you agree (or disagree) with all the other candidates in the race.
My own results weren't wildly unexpected. Selectsmart says my top ten candidates would be:
- Green Party Candidate (100%)
- Kucinich, Cong. Dennis, OH - Democrat (93%)
- Dean, Gov. Howard, VT - Democrat (90%)
- Moseley-Braun, Former Senator Carol IL - Democrat (83%)
- Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat (83%)
- Edwards, Senator John, NC - Democrat (75%)
- Socialist Candidate (75%)
- Leahy, Patrick Senator, Vermont - Democrat (75%)
- Gephardt, Cong. Dick, MO - Democrat (74%)
- Lieberman Senator Joe CT - Democrat (73%)
I'm surprised to see Lieberman rank higher than Sharpton, but whatever. And since the Green party hasn't even fielded a candidate (that I know of), and since neither a Green candidate nor Kucinich has a realistic chance of winning, it looks like my top choice is Dean, which is what I was thinking anyway. He's not ideal, but hey, if this SelectSmart thing is right, he's at least 90% ideal (for me), which is pretty darned good.
What does your top candidates list look like?
