Glassbooth.org - find out what candidates most closely match you

[TheGibson]

www.glassbooth.org

I've seen other sites like this, but this one seems more accurate to me. You weight how important issues are to you, then answer some scaled questions on certain issues, and you're done. Don't know much about these guys. Going to have to find out more.


88% similarity - Mike Gravel

86% similarity - Dennis Kucinich

81% similarity - Bill Richardson

[Bill Nolan]

Yeah, not unexpected:

78% similarity - Fred Thompson

72% similarity - John McCain

[Jonny Z]

83% Barak, motherfuckers!

[xyzzy]

It's gonna say Dennis Kucinich, like all the other ones.

Oh, Mike Gravel edged him out by one point. All I know about him is that he made a weird campaign ad.

[greg donovan]

i wish they were able to incude some foreign policy questions other than iraq. i realize that that is the big FP issue right now. but it certainly wont be the only one over the next 4 years.

Pretty much what I expected.


Kuchinic

People love Kucinich, they just don't know it/want to admit it, yet. :p

[Kody]

I wonder if the scores the candidates have for each category are based on campaign speeches and promises, or actual voting records.

[greg donovan]

I wonder if the scores the candidates have for each category are based on campaign speeches and promises, or actual voting records.

it appears to be both if you look at each category for why they agree or disagree with you.

[Eric Williams]

Dennis Kucinich 82%
Mike Gravel 81%
John Edwards 77%

...yay? I've never even heard of the first two.

[evilgenius]

Damnit, I only got 69 percent of Obamaness... seems we had differing ideas on taxing and the patriot act, though when I read his reasoning it made me think the points he'd been set with were not accurate, or missinterpreted. That or I just don't know jack about the actual policies discussed :D

[Keith P.]

Mike Gravel 81
Dennis Kucinich 81
John Edwards 80

[Joe Kalicki]

I got something ridiculous, like 93% for Kucinich.

I also think his wife is hot.

[charlie]

I got something ridiculous, like 93% for Kucinich.

95% Kucinich, and 100% agree on the wife's hotness.

[Dreg]

Apparently, Mike Gravel is my guy. Now who the fuck is Mike Gravel?

[badpoet]

Kucinich 85
Gravel 83
Edwards 79

Of them, I hate Dennis Kucinich (but love his sexy hot red-head wife), don't know anything about Gravel, and strongly lean towards Edwards if Richardson is done.

[GelfXIII]

Kucinich - 90%
Edwards - 86%
Gravel - 83%

Health Care very similar
Taxes and Budget very similar
Abortion and Birth Control very similar
Civil Liberties and Domestic Security very similar
Environment and Energy very similar
Iraq and Foreign Policy very similar

I'd love to support Kucinich, but he's unelectable, I'm afraid, so I'm backing Obama.

[jess]

80% Kucinich

74% Edwards

73% Gravel

69% Clinton

I already knew I was at least 70% democrat :)

[AndrewG]

Romney 76% - What!?!
Hunter- 70%- Who?
Giuliani- 68%

[Bryan H]

Kucinich - 84%
Gravel - 77%
Richardson - 76%

I don't know who any of these people are. I'm assuming they're democrats, I don't even know that. Its probably time to start paying attention to this crap again.

[Dreaded Anomaly]

79% - Richardson
79% - Gravel
76% - Obama

So, realistically, Obama, which was my intention already.

[greg donovan]

Apparently, Mike Gravel is my guy. Now who the fuck is Mike Gravel?

use the site to read about his policies and find out more.

[Ray G.]

Giuliani 71%
Huckabee 65%
Hunter 62%

Giuliani sounds right. I guess McCain and I differ on a few key issues that knocked him out of the top three. We're in sync on most of the big ones, though.

[Adrian B AWESOME]

Michael Dukakis - 100%
That part in 300 where the guy gets kicked down the bottomless pit HARD - 88%

[Black Roman]

Barack Obama shares a 78% similarity with your beliefs

John Edwards shares a 76% similarity with your beliefs

Bill Richardson shares a 76% similarity with your beliefs


Wow. No one is over 80% :lol:

[kylethoreau]

I got Hillary :cry:

[Black Roman]

I redid mine, focusing more on my core beliefs and I got this:

Dennis Kucinich shares a 94% similarity with your beliefs

Health Care very similar find out why
Social Security very similar find out why
Civil Liberties and Domestic Security very similar find out why
Crime and Punishment very similar find out why
Iraq and Foreign Policy very similar find out why
Education very similar find out why
Gay Rights very similar find out why
Environment and Energy similar find out why

:scared:

[Foolish Mortal]

Mine. I was expecting Obama and Clinton. Wasn't expecting Kucinich. :D

[Black Roman]

Mine. I was expecting Obama and Clinton. Wasn't expecting Kucinich. :D

http://i11.tinypic.com/6labclv.jpg

Me too. Scary. Hillary was fourth, followed by Richardson and Obama.


Ahhhh, the big factor is that Obama and Clinton aren't as "Anti-Death Penalty" as I am.

[Adam Witt]

Rudy Giuliani - 65%
Mike Gravel - 63%
Barack Obama - 62%

[Ben Weldon]

I got a rock:sad:

[Boris the Blade]

1 Dennis Kucinich 79% similarity
2 Mike Gravel 75% similarity
3 John Edwards 72% similarity

Similar, except I think the people should have access to guns.

[John M. Coker (Johnny C.)]

71%- Hillary

69%- Richardson

67%- Edwards

I find that very interesting.

[Black Roman]

AHHHHH!!! I changed a few of my answers after doing a little research and . . .


Dennis Kucinich shares a 99% similarity with your beliefs

Mike Gravel shares a 98% similarity with your beliefs

John Edwards shares a 83% similarity with your beliefs

Followed by Richardson 81% and Obama/Clinton at 77%.

Paul is the Republican that matches me most at 60%

[Maestro]

Hillary Clinton - 79%

John Edwards - 79%

Barack Obama - 75%

Looks like I'm one of them bleeding heart liberals :(

[Black Roman]

I had no clue I was such a liberal. Granted I didn't give some of the topics I'm more conservative on, much weight since they aren't really that important to me.

[Black Roman]

Cool. I can register online (sorta) was just filling out all the details so I can print/mail this bad boy. I'm just not sure what party I should (if I put any) be affiliated with. not sure if I should go Independent or just say full out Democrat.

[evilgenius]

I tried to vote as the most opposite and evil as I could from my perspective, and got some dude named Duncan Hunter. Reading his bio and political history, I am extremely glad he is not one of the forerunners.

[RebootedCorpse]

Kuchinic
Edwards
Gravel

[John M. Coker (Johnny C.)]

I tried to vote as the most opposite and evil as I could from my perspective, and got some dude named Duncan Hunter. Reading his bio and political history, I am extremely glad he is not one of the forerunners.

I just did the same and also got Duncan Hunter, 98%. Followed by Romney, and then Thompson.

[Black Roman]

I did that too and got a 91% from Duncan Hunter . . . freaky.

Followed by Huckabee and Romney.

[John M. Coker (Johnny C.)]

And apparently, if you don't really care all that strongly one way or the other about anything... Huckabee's your man.

[Nick Spencer]

Jesus... I got Mike Gravel (83 percent for crazy rock throwing youtube dude!), followed by Dennis Kucinich, then John Edwards. But honestly, there are some flaws to this system. I think the strong answers on all the gay rights questions threw me left.

I got a 75 percent match with my actual candidate of choice, Obama. Not bad.

[Black Roman]

I just did one with a point in each of the categories (in order to see who I agree with in all around terms) and it's STILL Kucinich.

90% Kucinich
87% Gravel
80% (*shudder*) Clinton.

[Nick Spencer]

I just did one with a point in each of the categories (in order to see who I agree with in all around terms) and it's STILL Kucinich.

90% Kucinich
87% Gravel
80% (*shudder*) Clinton.

Yeah, I don't think they did a good job on the dem side, everyone is getting the same people. But the reality is that democrats use different, softer language that helps their chances of getting elected, so sometimes you don't get unequivocal yes or no answers from the bigger Dems.

[Black Roman]

My main issues each time are Education, Gay Rights, and Health care. With Iraq and Taxes coming up the rear.

[Nick Hale]

Dennis Kucinich 95% similarity
Mike Gravel 95% similarity
Bill Richardson 76% similarity

Pretty much what I expected.



People love Kucinich, they just don't know it/want to admit it, yet. :p

Kucinich 90%
Gravel 84%
Richardson 84%

I'll go ahead and admit it, when the primaries hit here I'm voting for Kucinich, I love his opinions and how much he wants change.

[John M. Coker (Johnny C.)]

I just did one with a point in each of the categories (in order to see who I agree with in all around terms) and it's STILL Kucinich.

90% Kucinich
87% Gravel
80% (*shudder*) Clinton.

I just did the same, and this time got Obama and Kucinich and Clinton ALL THREE at 79%. Weird.

[Black Roman]

Kucinich is starting to grow on me, was lookin at his stances on everything at Glassbooth. I'm still rooting for Obama, the main issues we disagree on are the Patriot act and The Death Penalty, but only cause Kucinich is toast. :(

[Foolish Mortal]

Hillary Clinton - 79%

John Edwards - 79%

Barack Obama - 75%

Looks like I'm one of them bleeding heart liberals :(
All three of them lean more towards the center than the left. Don't believe the right wing rhetoric, Obama, Clinton, and Edwards are not leftist radicals.

[Brian Defferding]

Wow, a lot of Kucinich winners here. It's too bad no one takes him seriously.

[evilgenius]

Seems a lot of people are getting 65-75 percent towards Obama for the most part, despite him being their first choice elsewhere. Seems the questions aren't that good at depicting the candidates choices properly despite a pretty solid setup of background checks for each of the questions. That or we've just gotten a different impression of Obama in comparison to reality :) Then again, the candidates we get aren't frontrunners, so our perfect candidates may not be available in the final rounds anyway.

I wish they had some more questions available for comparison though. Some of the issues I care for are not properly represented here.

Edit: Some of the questions really are improperly set up. I was trying for the evilest choices possible in the Abortion and Contraception category, and found out Duncan Hunter WASN'T opposed to abortions in the case of rape or incest. Well, at least according to the quiz. In the info-slide just below that question when reading up on the candidates choices, however, it seemed to depict him stating something quite the opposite to what the quiz was putting forth just moments ago.

[greg donovan]

yeah this thing isnt perfect but it has gotten a lot of people in this thread to look a little deeper into there core political values and maybe become a little more informed. that is always a good thing.

[changingshades]

Nero
Caligula
Huckabee

[King of Mars]

Obama
Kucinich
Richardson

Most similar (78%) to Obama.

[Thomas Mauer]

Bill Richardson: 91%
Dennis Kucinich: 89%
Mike Gravel: 89%

[Foolish Mortal]

Lots of people are getting Mike Gravel. There's a lot more people on this board that lean farther to the left of me than I realized. :lol:

[changingshades]

Lots of people are getting Mike Gravel. There's a lot more people on this board that lean farther to the left of me than I realized. :lol:

He was my third, behind Kucinich and richardson.

[Thomas Mauer]

Lots of people are getting Mike Gravel. There's a lot more people on this board that lean farther to the left of me than I realized. :lol:

I'm really surprised by my results as well. Guess being a libertarian in Germany is different from being a libertarian in the US somehow. :-?

[evilgenius]

Are there any more , rather accurate, sites like this available rigth now?

[JMP]

I got:

Bill Richardson 84%
Hillary Clinton 83%
Barack Obama 82%

Considering there's only a 2% difference between Obama and Richardson, I wouldn't feel bad if any of them won.

[Strikeout]

Mike Gravel 79%
Dennis Kucinich 78%
Barack Obama 76%
John Edwards 74%

No surprises.

I'll vote for 1: Edwards 2: Obama. And hopefully, like I've thought all along, one of them will be pres and the other VP.

Gravel and Kucinich are unelectable people.
I would never vote for Hilary.

[frzamonkey]

kucinich 99
gravel 94
edwards 79

edwards is low because he doesn't support gay marriage, legalizng medicinal marijuana, or abolishing the death penalty.


i knew it would be kucinich...

kucinich is not taken seriously because the media does not take him seriously,and the national democratic party has so many ties to big business (the health care system, the "industrial military complex", etc.) that they tolerate him as a congressman, but push him off the stage as soon as possible because he says things that scare them. i am voting for him in the primary, just like i did in 2004, if for no other reason than to force the DEM party to let him speak at the convention. He is the voice of progressive politics in this country.

[(akaRyanHoffman)]

Dennis Kucinich 91%
Mike Gravel 90%
Bill Richardson 80%

[Len Snark]

Bill Richardson is apparently my man, with an 81%, followed by Obama with 78%. Surprising.

[Amos Moses]

Richardson 75%
Obama 70%
Edwards 70%

Surprised Richardson is so high up, although I'm in love with his views on Energy.

[Black Roman]

Hmmm, all of a sudden I feel like doing this again. :?

[Alex(sadly)Maleev]

Gravel- 79
Obama and Hillary- 75

[Whip]

Hillary - 76
Obama and Gravel - 75

[Black Roman]

How odd, it keeps giving me 100% for EVERY candidate. :?

[TRILL, THE CARBON BASED LIFEFORM]

Gravel-75 (Who?)
Hil and Barack are pretty much tied below Gravel. I was hoping this would be a tie breaker for me. Oh well.

[Ryan F]

Of the 6 remaining candidates

Hillary Clinton - 79%
Mike Gravel - 78%
Barack Obama - 75%
John McCain - 51%
Mike Huckabee - 49%
Ron Paul - 44%

[Black Roman]

How weird, it's totally not working for me whatsoever. :?

[Jerome Gibbons]

Well, speaking realistically, it would appear that I'm totally gay for Obama and Hillary, equally. Which doesn't seem to be surprising.

[Brian Defferding]

Ron Paul - 88%

Mike Gravel - 63%

Barack Obama - 46%

[Dreaded Anomaly]

Gravel - 85%
Obama - 78%
Clinton - 75%
Paul - 60%
McCain - 43%
Huckabee - 41%

[Rick America]

Surprised me...quite an eclectic mix in what looks almost like a "dead heat" to me:

71% Obama
68% McCain
68% Huckabee

[brianhalpin]

84% Hildog
81% Obama
80% Gravel

[Skatonic10]

Gravel 82
Clinton 81
Obama 80


Guess that means I'm a democrat.
