US Presidental Election - who do you like?

[Newt]

Vagabond - indeed you would be classed as a redneck.

 

I like Fred and he would have come up first for me except for the restricted choices on treatment of illegals. His view as used for this survey is slightly more harsh than mine or than what I think is really his but they used the most sweeping and herculean choice for him.

This poll/quiz may be of interest to some you since you give your opinions on some major issues and it will rate the canidates according to how much or how little you agree with their positions on some of the major issues we face.

 

Your results may surprise you by ranking much higher or much lower than you would have expected.

 

You will need a US zip code so feel free to use mine 28025 (North Carolina) that will place you in a somewhat conservative section of the US or 92110 (California) that will locate you in a more liberal and more "illegal immigrant" impacted area.

Well for me all three had the same score, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. But I suppose US politicians are the same Politicians anywhere, they'll promise the earth to get themselves elected. Then they blatantly renague on every issue, just look at the Labour government in Britain

Manxman - while I completely agree that most (all?) politicians are panderers and their campaign promises are not to be trusted, this survey/poll/whatever is based on the candidates past voting history on the sorts of issues in the questions.

 

"What they did" is at least a bit more likely to reflect their stand on issues more than "What I will do".

 

In case you don't follow such things, your picks are the three Democratic front runners so almost certainly one of them will be up for election in November. Probably Clinton or Obama and either one will be a 'first'; first woman, first black person.

Thanks for that Newt, seems like i can pick a winner, who do you think I should put my money on to win the Presidential election?

[Newt]

Way too early to tell.

[Ken Davison South Wales]

Romney : Giuliani : Hunter

 

Not sure how that stacks up

[Newt]

Pretty conservative and a fan of gun control, most likely.

[Steve Burke]

Both useful and interesting - thanks, Newt.

 

Having answered the questions it seems that the US is rather more right wing than the UK. No wonder one of our ministers said it was hard to do business with Bush because he's so right wing.
