on this eve of election day and looking towards next year's presidential race, I took the Select Smart test to find out who I'm closest in ideology to. My plan for the primary has been to vote for Kucinich, but let's face it, he will not be the nominee, so I wondered which of the Big Three (Clinton, Obama, Edwards) I came closest to. Here are the results:
2008 President Selector Rankings:
1. Theoretical Ideal Candidate (100 %)
2. Dennis Kucinich (71 %)
3. Barack Obama (67 %)
4. Wesley Clark (not running, endorsed Clinton) (63 %)
5. Hillary Clinton (61 %)
6. Joseph Biden (61 %)
7. John Edwards (61 %)
8. Al Gore (not announced) (61 %)
9. Christopher Dodd (60 %)
10. Alan Augustson (campaign suspended) (55 %)
11. Bill Richardson (52 %)
12. Michael Bloomberg (says he will not run) (52 %)
13. Mike Gravel (47 %)
14. Ron Paul (40 %)
15. Elaine Brown (37 %)
16. Kent McManigal (campaign suspended) (30 %)
17. Rudolph Giuliani (29 %)
18. Mike Huckabee (28 %)
19. Mitt Romney (26 %)
20. John McCain (25 %)
21. Alan Keyes (23 %)
22. Tommy Thompson (withdrawn, endorsed Giuliani) (21 %)
23. Chuck Hagel (not running) (20 %)
24. Tom Tancredo (20 %)
25. Duncan Hunter (15 %)
26. Sam Brownback (withdrawn) (14 %)
27. Fred Thompson (13 %)
28. Newt Gingrich (says he will not run) (11 %)
29. Jim Gilmore (withdrawn) (10 %)
30. Stephen Colbert (campaign ended) (6 %)
I'm amazed at how close I came to both Kucinich and Obama, yet they really aren't all that alike. Hmmmm...
