Where the heck is Rudy?

[gnome]

What's really scary is that the most common match is Mike Gravel...!

It says I want him for president. I don't. But he gave the Dem debates some liveliness... he gets entertainment points for that.

[Peachdiane]

I got Fred! I knew I loved that guy!

[Suzie]

I got 100% for both Fred and Romney so I don't know why they had to give me the photo of Romney. :huh:

[Lazarus]

Kiddos, don't take these results too seriously...

These "caluclators" are only as accurate as the opinions of the person who creates and programs it... He aligns each candidate against the issues based on HIS perception of the candidates and HIS definitions of the issues - Which in most cases, if you were able to interview him in depth, are NOT the same as your perceptions and definitions - Many times not even close...

This thing kinda reminds me of that Socio-political calculator that was posted here a while back, where you answer a battery of questions and it shows you on a 2-dimensional graph where you stand in the big scheme of things... I noticed that calculator wasn't very accurate when it comes to the inner thoughts and beliefs of Lazarus...

These calculators are just the internet version of that little paper device that we used to play with in grammer school where you pick a number, go thru some gyrations, then pick a color, lift the secret flap, and discover which guy/girl in the class you get stuck with... Its just about that serious...

You'd probably get as good an analysis if you called the psychic friends network...:rolleyes:

[Rhino]

Yeah, but they charge you for it.

[Lazarus]

Yeah but don't ya get a T-shirt wif it? :biggrin:

[Jack_Savage]

My highest was Duncan Hunter. Rudy came in at 5%. But it didn't calculate my gut feeling about Rudy.

[Rhino]

Yeah but don't ya get a T-shirt wif it? :biggrin:Nah. You put on a plain white t-shirt and they mentally project an image onto it for you. The shirt is free, but the projection is $29.95. However, if you call in the next five minutes..... :D

[TheIrishman]

My choice was Thompson and he came in first at 76%. What griped me was Romeny and Guiliani were two and three. I like Huckabee better than them. My very LAST choice is Barrack osama Obama. And how the hell does anyone score 100% with ANY candidate??
