Last week I came across two websites that tell you which presidential candidates line up best with your political views.
The ABC “Match-O-Matic” asks you about fifteen questions and then displays your top three candidates and shows you where they lined up with you and where they differed.
The Pick Your Candidate page asks you twenty-five questions on broader range of topics than the ABC site, and it lets you weight each one’s importance to you as either being “Minimal, “Important,” or “Key.” It returns a table that shows all the candidates ranked in order of how well they lined up with your views.
I answered the questions a few times on each site and tweaked the answers to a few questions that did not provide choices that lined up exactly with what I thought, but both sites matched me with Kucinich first. The next in line were usually either Biden, Gravel, Clinton, Obama, or Edwards.
I then went back to the sites and answered all the questions as if I were a racist, homophobic, free-market, war mongering, income-tax hating, millionaire businessman and both sites said Romney was my man.
The survey questions only take a few minutes to fill out, so give them a try and see who pops up.
