ABC's Match-O-Matic
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/page?id=3623346

I just took ABC's Match-O-Matic poll (located at the top of the "Latest Page") at the above url.

After about ten questions, it matched in in descending order to

1. Dennis Kucinich
2. Mike Gravel
3. Ron Paul?????!!!!

What's your results?

12. Hmm... I've never considered anarchy to be my first or even a viable choice.
Like that old saw, "If God didn't exist, we would have to invent him," government is a must. The vast majority of people cannot live without structure.

Some, relatively very few, have internal structure and might be able to live without government (maybe).

But most people, in order to live in any kind of social community must have structure. And that structure come in the form of government.

11. I said we needed to simplify the system ...
Paul wants to abolish the system completely, doesn't he?

21. I agree
wish they had one for abolishing bush's tax cuts immediately but they didn't. The choices were worded to put you in Paul's camp, scrap the system, flat tax and consumer tax.

23. Kucinich, Gravel, Richardson...but the poll seems slanted toward RW
issues and solutions. No mention of unemployment, education, poverty, the deficit, etc. Most of the options for each question offered several RW ideas and only one that comes from the left.

24. OK I tried SEVERAL times

25. I found him!!!!! The absolute worst candidate
I took the poll using all the repug talking points.

1. Fred Thompson
2. Mitt Romney
3. Duncan Hunter
If Disney updates their poll third place will probably go to Huckabee or Giuliani.

27. It figures
According to this search, my first choice is no longer a candidate:

Joe Biden.

#2 was Gravel, and in third place was Obama.

So, that and $4.75 will get me some kind of designer coffee at Starbucks.

Back to the drawing board..........

39. Same as mine, but
I didn't like any of the answers to some of the questions. The last one - which was the most important background - was what I think decided these. Actually, my most important criterion is a functioning brain, which wasn't one of the options.

Good thing I'm not taking their advice.

I'm voting for Edwards in the primary.
