US Vote-A-Matic

kevmartin · 01-18-2008

While looking for info on how the US election is unfolding (as its been quiet in the news of late) - I found this site which has a fun quiz to give an indicator of which major candidate is best suited to your views:
2008 US Vote-a-matic | News.com.au

I took the test out of curiosity and I've to say, some of the questions really are at least weird others, well you know.

Winner: Al Gore WTF?! He isn't even running for office.

Runner Up: Barack Obama

But the fact that one of the possible candidates you could get as a result is Miss Teen South Carolina makes clear that the quiz doesn't even tries to be serious

I got the same results as you - which interestingly would be pretty much correct - if I had a choice, I'd probably choose Obama, but if Gore was running I might choose him instead. It does say on the results page that Gore isn't actually running, but was previously considered a possibility (or something along those lines) - and it does say "the leading contenders are covered., with a couple of surprises thrown in too"

Oh I think I missed those lines, I didn't pay much attention to the description.

And miss teen sc was indeed a surprise ;P
