1- Bush 100%
2- Lieberman 94%
3- Clark 80%
4- Dean 78%
5- Kerry 78%
6- Edwards 73%
7- Sharpton 67%
8- Kucinich 54%

I understand why it felt that way but its reasoning may be different from mine.

Also they should allow for 10 points of swing either way for character issues.

Hee hee. It says Bush served in the military! :angel:

I came out solidly with a 100% for Sharpton, tho Kucinich and Kerry were in a tie for 2nd at 96%.

Not that it matters at this point.. I'm not sure why Pennsylvania bothers having primaries.

xoxoxoBruce 01-31-2004 03:10 PM

Dean 100
Kerry 90
Edwards 90
Kucinich 82
Bush 82
Lieberman 79

I didn't know that.

Kucinich 100%
Kerry 92%
Sharpton 86%
Dean 86%
Clark 83%
Edwards 83%
Lieberman 70%
Bush 03% (No, that's not a typo.)

Dean dropped a few percentage points below Kerry mostly because of his gun stances, where he was mostly "No Opinion" compared to Kerry's "Strongly Favor" on safety devices, background checks and mandatory safety courses/licencing.

I'm surprised Lieberman scored that high, but then again there weren't many religion-themed or culture war-themed questions in the survey.

elSicomoro 01-31-2004 05:19 PM

I feel better now.

Happy Monkey 01-31-2004 10:04 PM

1 Kucinich Score: 100%
2 Sharpton Score: 95%
3 Kerry Score: 92%
4 Dean Score: 87%
5 Clark Score: 86%
6 Edwards Score: 79%
7 Lieberman Score: 74%
8 Bush Score: 5%


Heh. I already knew #1 & #2 were aligned with me on the issues, but they have been out of the race since the start. I'm a bit surprised about how high Kerry is. I would have thought he'd be between Edwards and Lieberman.

99 44/100% pure 01-31-2004 11:50 PM

Kucinich 100
Sharpton 99
Kerry 89
Dean 86
Clark 83
Edwards 77
Lieberman 70

Bush 6 :p


Too bad they didn't have questions such as "How important is it to you that the Commander-in-Chief not be a nutcase?" (Uh, I'm talking about Sharpton.)

warch 02-01-2004 01:52 AM

Kucinich 100%
Kerry 96%
Dean 93%
Edwards 83%
Lieberman 73%
Bush 7%

anyone? anyone? I'll take anyone in double digits.

Griff 02-01-2004 11:39 AM

Going from memory since I was too stunned to post yesterday.
Kucinich
Sharpton
Dean
Lieberman
Clark
Bush
Kerry
Edwards

As always these things are not nuanced enough to be reliable. Hopefully whoever wins has to deal with a Congress controlled by the other party. Bring back the independent prosecutor!

This thing is screwed up. I came up with Bush, 100%, when I disagree with at least half of his positions. I think I ended up agreeing only with my anti-environmental and pro-gun stance. Normalizing to 100% is NOT a good idea.

And there needs to be a stronger than "strongly opposed". How about "turns stomach" or "makes me vomit" (e.g. for PATRIOT act or Universal Government-Supervised Healthcare)
