(Actually, she says she got Obama because she wasn’t thinking clearly before picking answers.)

Your top candidate match is Rick Perry! Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann were runner-ups.

They were in this order:

Rick Perry as #1 Ron Paul #2 Michelle Bachman #3

This survey pegged me perfectly - it may be unbiased.

I’M SUPPOSED TO VOTE FOR RON PAUL?!?!?

The issues chosen are a microcosm of the issues facing the US in this election. In other words, it's the ones that ABC News thought were important. I'll note that there was nothing about entitlement reform, which is going to be one of the most important issues in the next decade (unless we want to go the way of Greece).

The choices offered to you were based on public statements by the candidate. In some cases, you were probably choosing the "least evil" of the alternatives. You also may have noticed that some of the choices were very close to each other.

The recommendations were made based on how many of your choices matched the candidate's statements. I didn't see any "partial credit" based on statements of other candidates that were "close". And for me, the recommendation was based on less than 50% matching: i.e. only 5 candidate statements matched my 11 choices for #1, and 4 statements matched for #2.

Newt, here. He better not pick Romney.

What does it say about you if you didn’t like any of the answers to the questions?

Why wouldn’t he pick Mittens?

After all, that would balance the ticket. Like McCain/Palin.

Pols always pick a diverse running mate.

The questions aren't the right questions...

And the answers aren't the right answers....to those questions.

Bogus and useless...come to mind.

And I ended up with Ron Paul as well, Mittens then Rick Perry, none of which are really on my radar.
