From the first link, my candidate would be Romney and from the second, Brownback… What’s a gal to do? Especially since I don’t care for either of them!

My first pics are 1. Duncan Hunter, # Cox, 3. Huckabee……..I am undecided at this point.

Let’s see, I got Fred Thompson as #1 and Mitt Romney as #2 from the first survey, and McCain, Thompson, and Hunter tied for #1 in the second. Can’t support McCain, would love to support Hunter, but his possibility of winning is slim. Still unsure on Thompson.

John Cox??? Who the hell is John Cox? Apparently he’s my eHarmony match. 93.27%

You didn’t watch the “Values Voters” debate, did you? He was on that one.
GimmeMyTinFoilHat on October 9th, 2007 at 7:23 am

Hunter then Huckabee…..
american woman on October 9th, 2007 at 7:34 am

Hamous he is my #2 man…… I am clueless!

John Cox, from Chicago, lawyer, millionaire. He has never won any race above school board…..( I’m trying so hard not to laugh

#9 He pretty much agrees with me on issues. I’ve never heard anyone describe himself as a “born-again, evangelical Catholic” before.

I was surprised - Romney. Closely followed by Hunter and Huckabee. I gagged when I saw Clinton on the bottom of my “middle of the road” list - I thought for sure she’d be “bottom of the barrel”. But come to think about it, the middle of the road is not a bad place for her to be. As an 18-wheeler comes barreling down. And the driver is asleep. And so is she.

That was mean. I really don’t want her dead. Just her presidential aspirations. She scares me, like having a roach crawl on me in the middle of the night when I’m dead asleep.

My first result was Romney, Thompson second; the second result was Tancredo, Thompson second.

Would like more info on how the question responses are weighted, what the analysis criteria are to evaluate how unbiased the surveys are before taking the results as revelations from the Oracle at Delphi. Would guess the most restrictive response to the immigration question would skew things to Tancredo more than anything else. Also, are the surveys updated to account for current positions the candidates take? Situations change with current events.

I support Thompson enough to have made a campaign contribution.

No matter what quiz I take, I am a Hunter/Tancredo man.

Interesting.
hamous on October 9th, 2007 at 9:32 am

Shannon, those two are always in my top three as well.

I ended up with Mitt.

Excerpt from a new Arthur Schlesinger book:

“John F. Kennedy was out of sorts. It was August 1960, and the constant cultivation of his party’s fractious base–southern conservatives and northern liberals–was already wearing him down. Over drinks and dinner with his new running mate, Lyndon Johnson, and The Washington Post’s Philip and Katharine Graham, Kennedy grumped and grumbled. As Phil Graham told the story the next day to Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.,

JFK finally said:

“The trouble with the northern liberals is that they want their arses kissed all the time. I’m perfectly willing to kiss Mrs. Roosevelt’s arse; in fact I rather enjoyed it. But I can’t spend all my time doing it.”

More from Schlesinger’ journals:

Over lunch at the Century Association in 1977, Kissinger told Schlesinger that “Donald Rumsfeld was the rottenest person he had known in government — that it was Rumsfeld who, in pursuit of his own ambitions, had set Kissinger and [Secretary of Defense James R.] Schlesinger against each other, and had persuaded Ford to make George Bush head of the CIA so he would be extinguished as the vice presidential candidate in 1976 (and thereby, Henry added, probably lost Ford the election).”

After Anwar Sadat’s funeral in 1981 — at President Reagan’s request, Nixon, Ford and Carter went together — Kissinger told Schlesinger, “As soon as we got into the plane, Nixon was his old self again, trying to manipulate everybody and everything, dropping poisonous remarks, doing his best to set people against each other. Later, when we were in a car by ourselves, Ford said to me, ‘Sometimes I wish I had never pardoned that son of a bitc#.”

Holy Crap! I always though I leaned toward Hunter, but this thing gave me a 100% match to Tancredo! I feel like I have been hit with a fish.
But hey, I am least compatable with Gravel, which I already suspected.
Shannon on October 9th, 2007 at 12:03 pm

Two posts in a row on the wrong thread. Sorry moderator, they were meant for Open Comments. I’m going to stand in the corner for a while.
gadboy on October 9th, 2007 at 4:19 pm

Clinton, Obama, and Dodd are my 1,2, and 3. Pretty accurate.
hamous on October 9th, 2007 at 4:37 pm

Man, just when I was beginning to like you
James76255 on January 8th, 2008 at 11:12 pm

Tom Tancredo was number 1, which I’ve also had him as number 1 on other calculators. John Cox (whoever that is), Mike Huckabee, and Mitt Romney round out the top four. Middle of the pack: Hunter, Thompson, Paul, Brownback, McCain, Giuliani, Richardson (Ack!), Biden (Aaaaaack!), Gravel, and Dodd. Bottom of the barrel, to no surprise: Clinton, Edwards, Obama, Kucinich.

The main difference between this and other calculators is Huckabee being much higher. Pretty much flips Huckabee and Hunter. I’m supporting Romney though, but would love to see a Romney/Tancredo ticket. Not sure that will happen though.
