Find out who you should vote for using Glassbooth
« on: January 23, 2008, 12:07:02 PM »


This site really figured it out. First you have to answer some questions and then the site tells you who you should vote for. But that's just the beginning. Here's what's really interesting about this site:



That's right, they provide you with quotes, what they voted on certain bills and everything. This is the real deal. Thumbs up for this site, I think it's worth a try.

Huh, that is really cool. Barack Obama was a 79% match for me, and from what I've researched thusfar that was who I'm in favor of.

70% for me.  Too bad I couldn't vote from him in the primary.

In the Primary you can't vote outside your registered party.

I see. But you can vote for any candidate if you're registered as an independent, right?

Only in states with an open primary. Independents can't vote here in the Florida primary because it's a closed primary.

I didn't expect the results that glassbooth gave me..


That's like 922 quadrillion percent right?

i did the test and it said Barack Obama was a 80% match for me (best choice). It was quite accurate

Wow. :D
(You might want to get in touch with the people who developed Glassbooth.org to get that fixed.)

Several of the candidates still listed on there have withdrawn.

But good, it chose Obama for me too.  O0

Edit: Add John Edwards to the list of withdrawn now too. Shame, I really like Edwards, a lot, but hes doing the right thing. He knows its a race between Hillary and Obama now, and I think he'd rather be home with his wife now, who has cancer.

Anybody wanting McCain? after Super Tuesday, it looks like he'll get the Republican nomination. As for the democrats... I think it'll still take a while to figure out just who will come out on top.

No I sure as heck don't want him, don't even want him as our Senator. I was not surprised he won Arizona being his home state.  Sadly I am not surprised about Clinton either.  This from the state that up until a few years ago refused to recognize MLK Jr. Day as a state holiday.

Huh, I didn't realize states refused to recognize that day. I always thought it was a national thing.
