The U.S. Presidential Candidate Dating Game
I'm not a U.S. citizen, but I live here and find the presidential race fascinating. So I took some of the online tests which claim to tell me which candidates are a closest match to my opinions.
| Closest Match | 2nd Closest | 3rd Closest | 4th Closest | 5th Closest | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| minnesota.publicradio.org | Clinton | Gravel | Kucinich | Edwards | Obama |
| usatoday.com | Kucinich | Gravel | Obama | Edwards | Clinton |
| glassbooth.org | Kucinich | Gravel | Edwards | Clinton | Obama |
What is interesting is that each of the three sites give three totally different orderings of the three viable Democratic candidates. I am surprised in particular at how poorly Obama does — perhaps I have been overly swayed by the glamour and symbolism of his candidacy and should instead pay closer attention to his positions.
