Not sure how the 'nuanced' choices affect results; one can imagine that my response on same sex marriage of "Take the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision" would push me into Rand Paul land.

Anyway my results were Bernie 97%, Hilary 88%, O'Mally (who's he?) 79%, Huckabee 39% (HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!), Trump 36% (!!!!!), Rand Paul 28% ... Very curious to know how Huckabee is so 'high' ...

:rofl: You :heart: Huckabee.

I'm going to look at it some more tonight but (just guessing) Huckabee has a few socially liberal positions. I know he's strong on leaving some of the entitlements alone, etc.

You should definitely go through again and open up the 'more' options; they are quite interesting. I also used the 'weighting' slider on the left on things like marijuana legalization, gun control, etc. I also expanded each category block to get the extra questions per category.

I just saw the 'compare answers' link; when you are done and you see the ranking, each candidate has a 'compare answers' link, and it shows why you got your score. So for Huckabee, we agreed on (in part): subsidies for farmers (only small ones, though, for me); don't transition pensions to private sector; prosecute wall street executives; equal pay for women; NO to superPACs; no to NSA surveillance; yes to national parks; Citizenship to children of Illegal Immigrants; increase Medicaid. So yes, he does have some socially liberal positions. Shame about the religion!

O you Huckabee you hunk:flirtyeyes:
....sorry, you rate just 9% on my melt meter....

Seriously tho....be sure to click the link to open the *entire* list when you look at final results. It won't change actual percentages...but, for instance, before I discovered I should do that, Trump was at number 6 from top with 15%.
Once I'd clicked to open list up - he tumbled down to number 9

I just emailed my results (with regard to my top 3) to myself, so as to be able to go back over time (....like the next 15 months :eek:), take test again and see how I and/or the candidates evolve (aka: flop-flip).

Again Leslie....great barometer :thumbsup:

My bottom 4 are: Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio, and Scott Walker (13% each), and Ted Cruz (15%). I need to see what question I answered wrongly to prevent Cruz from being at the very bottom :) :) !!!

I'm happy with my "bottom" (well, yes - that one too :lol:)

There's great competition for it:

Starting with the sub-flooring level and heading upwards:
Cruz and Carson both at 3%
Perry, Santorum and Fiorina at 4%
Rand Paul and Rubio at 6%

So.... lots of scraping and scrapping down there
But since I'll never vote for any of them - it would only matter (to me) if one of them (or the next 9) should win :eek:

Or the NAACP? I reckon it's Bernie's lack of entourage/security that makes him most attractive to the protesters, not his actual policies.

Well I'm not judging radical Christian Sarah palin supporters... ok yes I am.

Okay, well that clears things up a bit. They weren't actually civil rights activists after all but rather a couple of ****ing idiots.

I wonder if the two in Seattle, heard about the blm protest at Netroots Nation in July and thought it was a direct protest against Bernie. The whole Christian/Palin/BLM confusion suggests such political naivety.

1. Bernie 90% 2. Hillary 84% 3. O'Malley 70% 4. R Paul 56%.

Pleased to report that the naturally born Canadian Ted Cruz came in last.

Is there a Dem candidate who agrees with Rand's stance on shrinking the military and eliminating surveillance on innocent people?

He hasn't been clear on military spending, but Bernie is against bombing the shit out of brown people and unnecessary surveillance.

Anyway, it looks like if the people of BE were the only ones who got to vote for President, then we would be feeling the Bern.
