Very strange:
1. Jon Huntsman
2. Barack Obama
3. Newt Gingrich
The problem with this is that it forces you to make one single choice from those offered, when in a number of cases I would have preferred that more than one option be followed or that parts of several options be combined as the best course....
For example, I favor lower tax rates, but I also favor closing loopholes....
That wasn't an option.

Hence the vote by soundbyte.
Seriously I think I Gat Bachmann on her one not totally deranged part of her campaign which was Afganistan policy

Obama
Romney
Bachmann (Apparently, she said exactly one thing that I might agree with; if I were voting purely for comedy potential, though, she'd probably be my #1 choice. )

1. Obama (not surprising)
2. Huntsman (again, not surprising, of all the GOP candidates, the least odious)
but...
3. Ron Paul!!!!! Take me out and shoot me now.

Your top candidate match is Jon Huntsman!
Barack Obama and Michele Bachmann were runner-ups.
I'm fine with Huntsman, the current POTUS is not as bad as Bush II was, but Bachmann?!?!?!

Me too.
I happen to like some of Paul's positions - obviously - but I don't know much about his whole platform.
I guess if I were going to vote for someone who shits on the Constitution and due process, I'd vote for Obama.

1. Barack Obama (no surprise)
2. Jon Huntsman (......"......)
3. Newt Gingrich (.....???.....) Well, there are a lot of bad choices on the GOP side, and somebody had to come in third. Though temperamentally unsuited for the Presidency, Newt does at least seem more intelligent and pragmatic than most of the Republican candidates.
BTW. did anyone else notice that in the accompanying caricatures on that site, Barack Obama is as white as the rest of them?

... or Perry, or Gingrich or Bachmann. And if you want someone who believes that "corporations are people too, my friend," you'll vote Romney.
Here, watch Ralph Nader in 2008 describe exactly the Obama Administration that has since unfolded:

Hahahahahahaha, or so his media flacks would have you believe. Intelligent? Look at his remarks in just the last two weeks about Palestinians, and then about the federal judiciary. Pragmatic? This is the guy who caused a government shut down because he was in a snit.
Please please oh please make him the GOP nominee!

(Oh, well, I guess I was grasping at straws to justify how he could have come up #3 on my list. I suppose at some point he must have said one thing that I agreed with, is all.)
