The trick is to gleen for yourself, who is genuine in their promises and intentions.

All this quiz shows you is whos campaign promises you align with. You have to take that into consideration, but then also decide who you trust and make a measure of their integrity based on their record and on your gut.
Really?
If you believe Hillary does not follow through with the things that made her your top candidate, you should do a little more digging.
Just look at her stance on Iraq.

That he has. Just curious therefore to know why the GOP haven't held him to the same standard they held Kerry?

Re: Candidate Match

Well i for one wish the rest of the party would. A lot of us can't stand him, but then again i hate most Republicans anyway...maybe i'm being to picky here and nobody is gonna be good enough to replace this President? Anyway its more than flip flopping, he is stupid enough to go after Hiuliani when he can't possibly pick up anymore of the social/Christian conservative votes than he has, he can't possibly take anymore prinary votes away from Rudy than he is and more than anything he is really turning folk away. And what the heck does he hope to achieve by making healthcare his number 1 issue?? Push that as hard as he wants he is always gonna lose that issue to a Dem, always.

Re: Candidate Match

The game is skewed in lots of ways. For instance, the experience thing. It puts way too much weight on that. And for instance, i agree with John McCain on 3 things, and he comes in at 3rd depending on the sliders when 4 or 5 other candidates who I agree with on 5 or 6 things don't even make the list. It doesn't make sense.

This was a very accurate tool. If you want to use it, pay attention to the "sliders" on the side which rank importance of the top issues.

Just look at her stance on Iraq.

If I dig though her history, what am I going to find?

- Failed Health Care plan (But now she's an expert)

- She promised over 200,000 new jobs for NY in her campaign promise, but NY lost over 100,000 jobs as NY Sentator (But it's the Repubs fault)

..... I'm afraid to dig further.

If you care to rebut with her successes, please indulge me.

Re: Candidate Match

The only surprise to me is that Guliani finished next to last on mine - ahead of only the representative from libertarian fantasy land ron paul.
1 - Joe Biden
2 - Hillary
3 - Bill Richardson

Re: Candidate Match

I believe there is one of these at select smart which isn't great but at least covers many more topics than this one.

I took it, and it gave me Edwards. It was decent.
