Candidate Widget

Another interesting Candidate Calculator.  I took it and it showed me with:

“Top Match”
Sam Brownback @ 81.58%

– Brownback!  Not sure how that got there.  Talk about a long shot fringe candidate.

My other “Top Matches”
Fred Thompson @ 76.32%
Duncan Hunter @ 73.68%
Mitt Romney @ 71.05%

– Thompson. I did like him but his lack of energy and playing coy concerned me from the get go and I never got behind him.  His saving grace was he was in the Senate for just a short time and did not get totally impressed with himself.
– Hunter.  Kinda liked him too but he is a one issue guy and I don’t like single issue candidates for ANYTHING
– Romney.  He’s ok and I like him on most items.  I just wish he had/would run on his record and not try to be all things to all people.  Recognize your strengths and play to those.

Middle of the Pack Matches
Tom Tancrado @ 71.05%
John Cox @ 68.42%
Rudy Guiliani @ 65.79%
Mike Huckabee @ 65.79%
John McCain @ 63.16%
Ron Paul @ 63.16%
Bill Richardson @ 42.11%
Joe Biden @ 39.47%
Barack Obama @ 34.21%
Hillary Clinton @ 31.58%

– Tancrado.  Another single issue guy and too far off the chart on that issue
– John Cox. ???
– Rudy. I could have voted for Rudy without any problem.  I was turned off in December when it became obvious that he was going to basically skip the early States.  I want the candidates bloodied, tested and vetted during the process.  Rudy was acting like he was the Sportswriters preseason title favorite and expected a bye for the season so that he could go into the Playoffs (Super Tuesday) with no injuries, while the rest of the field would be walking wounded, and then sail to the Championship game.
– Huckabee.  Not a chance with his unFairTax and his holier-then-thou I’m a better Christian then you and let’s ban fast food schtick.
– McCain.  Yep.  That’s where I’d place him. One rung up from the lunatic Paul.   If it came down to voting for McCain or Paul Johnny would get my very reluctant vote.  He’s been TOO long in the insulated Senate and has become way too impressed with himself
– Paul.  He’d only beat out only Kuninich or Gravel for my vote.  Actually, for him I would stay home and paint the House and listen to Country Music (I HATE country music)
– Richardson.  Should be higher on this list and probably the best qualified Dem for the job.  I’d take him over Huckabee, McCain or Paul any day of the week.
– Biden.  Think he would steal old Reagan speeches?  What a hack.  Another self impressed Senator
– Obama.  Delivers a great soaring speech.  Too bad only empty drafts of air are supporting that rhetoric.  He was born to be a Senator.  He has not done anything and he’s already written 2 autobiographies!  Yep.  He’s impressed with himself
– Hillary.  No need to say anything.  Plus, another Senator.

Bottom of the Barrel
Chris Dodd @ 26.32%
John Edwards @ 26.32%
Dennis Kucinich @ 18.42%
Mike Gravel @ 15.79%

– Dodd, Edwards.  What is it with all these Senators.  Not impressed
– Kucinich.  Shirley McLaine supports him and he like Assad in Syria.  Need I say more
– Gravel. ???.  What’s the point.
