AOL Presidential Match

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on January 23, 2004). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

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.)
