Default Select your ideal presidential candidate

I thought you guys might enjoy taking this little quiz to see how the 2004 presidential candidates fall for you. My results were, after the theoretical candidate, Dean 1st at 68% (which doesn't thrill me too much), Bush last at 16% (THIS I already knew)!

Select Your President

Enjoy!

Patti

Thanks, Patti!



My top three were:

John Kerry 86%
Al Sharpton 85%
Howard Dean 82%

Of course, Bush was last with only 1%.

Hmmm.... I believe this is fairly accurate:

Quote:
Who is "Your ideal theoretical candidate"? This candidate adamantly endorses all of your political views. The problem is that they may not exist, unless you write-in your own name on your ballot.
The rest shook out like this:

2. Sharpton, Reverend Al - Democrat (75%) Click here for info
3. Kucinich, Rep. Dennis, OH - Democrat (68%) Click here for info
4. Clark, Retired General Wesley K., AR - Democrat (65%) Click here for info
5. Dean, Gov. Howard, VT - Democrat (65%) Click here for info
6. Edwards, Senator John, NC - Democrat (63%) Click here for info
7. Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat (56%) Click here for info
8. Lieberman, Senator Joe, CT - Democrat (38%) Click here for info
9. Libertarian Candidate (37%) Click here for info
10. Phillips, Howard - Constitution (27%) Click here for info
11. Bush, President George W. - Republican (27%)

Pretty close

My top 3 were Kerry, Edwards, and Dean, followed by Bush.

I can hear the voices now: "Coooommmme to the other side."

Thumbs up Hmmm...

my results:

Libertarian Candidate (56%)
Sharpton (54%)
Edwards (53%)
Dean (51%)
Kucinich (50%)
Bush (43%)
Kerry (43%)
Clark (41%)
Lieberman (40%)
Gephardt (35%)
Moseley-Braun (32%)

I would actually vote for Sen. Edwards if he wins the Democratic nomination...One vote for a Democrat is no vote for Hillary

2. Kucinich, Rep. Dennis, OH - Democrat (86%)
3. Dean, Gov. Howard, VT - Democrat (84%)
4. Clark, Retired General Wesley K., AR - Democrat (79%)
5. Sharpton, Reverend Al - Democrat (76%)
6. Edwards, Senator John, NC - Democrat (68%)
7. Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat (63%)
8. Lieberman, Senator Joe, CT - Democrat (48%)


And Bush came in at a whopping 15%. How in the blazes did that happen? I am the shame of my party! I guess that's cause I tend towards more moderate democratic leanings.... which is weird that Kucinich and Dean are at the top of my list. I'm confused!
