i did too. R.Paul wasn’t even in my runners up. which is weird.

Joe Biden with 84%.

I had a draw for first place.

Gravel and Obama both on 88.4%

Shame I won’t be able to vote. I love US elections - they’re so exciting and compared to our UK variety, there seems so much more at stake.

#10

I saw this morning where Clinton is leading the Democratic race and Giuliani is leading the Republicans.

That would make for an interesting race in about a year.

I re-did the test twice. Once going extreme lefty and got you-know-who, Kucinich. Did it again, middle of the road answers, and got Obama.

It would seem that from the way they’re calculating the percentage of your answers for the candidate who most approximates your preferences, that the lower the number for your top choice, the more none of them really meet the criteria for your “ideal” candidate.

And voting “unsure” doesn’t impact the calculation since I re-did it and made only a few choices, with the rest “unsure”, and it came up an 86% choice for Biden. Maybe that means Biden is unsure about those topics as well…which is certainly possible.
