Democrat Ranking Test - Who's Your Candidate?
« on: January 11, 2008, 09:13:30 PM »
http://www.dehp.net/candidate/

A test on the Kucinich website matches your preferences against all candidates and purports to show a numerical indicator of which one is most on your own wavelength.

Kucinich, not surprisingly, had the highest Tee-score, followed by Mike Gravel and then (surprise!) Hillary:

Kucinich 67, Gravel 54, Clinton 39, Dodd 36, Edwards 35, Biden 34, Obama 33, Richardson 31.

Interesting how far Dennis is ahead, Gravel is way behind him, and then way behind Gravel, but just a little bit ahead of the rest of the pack is Hillary; then after Hillary, they're all bunched up, averaging only a point apart.

Wonder why Dennis is having so much trouble getting his message out?  It's so hard to believe he'd get less than 2 percent in NH.

Mine:
Kucinich, 84
Gravel, 61
Obama, 60
Clinton 56
Edwards, 52

McCain, -18
Huckabee, -45
Romney, -63

But this poll did not include much on Edward's key issue: opposition to the oligarchy and growing inequality.
It didn't deal with tax policy at all.

I like Edwards more than Hillary and more than Obama.

Kucinich is my ideal candidate.

But his name is Dennis, Kucinich, and he is short.
He is the gutsiest candidate of them all, biut he does not project that image in stature or voice, unfortunately.

24     Paul
13    Brownback
10    McCain
10    Gravel
5    T. Thompson
2    Richardson
0    Hunter
-2    Tancredo
-2    Kucinich
-4    Giuliani
-6    Huckabee
-8    Edwards
-8    Cox
-8    Biden
-9    Dodd
-10    Clinton
-11    Obama
-16    Romney

I'm surprised that McCain was so high and Romney so low. Otherwise, about right.

60 Kucinich 
47 Gravel 
30 Obama 
27 Richardson 
26 Edwards 
26 Clinton   
21 Dodd   
20 Biden 
-5 Paul   
-23 Brownback 
-25 Cox 
-26 Huckabee   
-27 McCain   
-32 T. Thompson   
-34 Giuliani   
-52 Romney   
-53 Tancredo 
-57 Hunter 

I have no problem with it except that I agree with XO's summary that Edward's issues are not represented.
I smell something burning, hope it's just my brains.

<<But his name is Dennis, Kucinich . . . >>

Barak Obama sounds more American?  Lieberman is a better name? 

<<and he is short.>>

Fiorello La Guardia was 5' 2"

I think the media is short-changing him.  He doesn't get the exposure.  The MSM doesn't want fresh ideas, they want OLD ideas.  They, and the interests they serve, are scared of Kucinich.

<<He is the gutsiest candidate of them all, biut he does not project that image in stature or voice, unfortunately.>>

That can't be the only reason.  La Guardia was not only short, he had a voice like a rodent.  I think his ideas don't get through because they are being blocked at the source.  For example, Hillary, Obama and Edwards are all more or less singing from the same page.  But the MSM covers their internecine "debates" endlessly, looking for minor distinguishing points like Talmudic scholars teasing apart a sentence word by word and letter by letter.  Meanwhile, a guy like Dennis, with an original and markedly different POV from all three of them is hardly heard from.  He gets lost in the shuffle.  And that ain't no accident.

Fiorello LaGuardia was not elected president of the US. NYC is not the USA.
Short is not a problem when there were no TVs.

I suppose Lipshitz, Outlaw, or Czgolcz would be even more difficult a surname.

I voted for Dennis in the 2004 primary. I am all for him, really.

But I suspect that you are right, the media has instructions to ignore him, and that is what they do.

I wouldn't know without getting very specific and detailed in the questions , and that is not worth the effort.

I had seven disagreements with my favoriate canadate , changes nothing.

Perfect areement is not the same thing as compatability , nor even trust.
