Lane pointed out the AOL presidential selector today, so I wandered over to take a look. It’s quite similar to the Presidential Candidate Selector that I pointed out last July, though the results were a bit different (of course, the possible candidates are different now, and there has been more time for all of them to fine-tune their policies and messages).
My list ended up being fairly similar to Lane’s from the look of it (admittedly, not a terribly big surprise) — the lineup is in the identical order, it’s just the percentages that differ a bit.
Kuchinich and Sharpton came out at the top. Um…sorry, but they’re basically nonentities in a realistic race at this point. Buh-bye.
Next up, and within 6% of each other, are Kerry, Dean, and Clark. Sounds reasonable, really, and about what I’d expect.
Bush, of course, gets a whopping 3% compatibility with my answers. I’m just curious what those 3% could be (and amused that Lane scored a 7% compatibility with Bush — I’m 4% less compatible with our President than Lane is, or something like that)!
Anyway, just another way to take a look at the current crop of Democratic candidates and see who might fit you best. Give it a shot, see what you think.
(I just noticed that T has the same lineup and similar percentages to Lane and I, also.)
