Need Help With The Upcoming Election?

I will admit that while I know where I stand politically, verifying everything on the issues themselves with each candidate is a royal pain in the behind! Then I discovered this site from TechCrunch. When I first read that it was ‘bipartisan’, I was very skeptical. But after completing my own profile, I was shocked at how spot on it really was. What was truly wild is how I discovered my best match was the last person I would have thought of - talk about a shock.
Obviously, this is not to be used as the end-all tool for selecting a candidate. To do that, you need to do some soul searching and your homework, likely the old fashion way. As for who the candidate that was chosen for me, I am not going to say as I want to keep this on the subject of technology, thus leaving the politics to other sources.
Take Connect2Elect for a spin, then hit the comments and let me know what you think. I would remind you that these types of online tools are quite common, however this one was actually reflecting a real level of accuracy. While I am not comfortable in stating that this online tool is totally accurate, it’s not bad and it is fun to take for a test drive.

Second test that I’ve taken that says I’m closest to Mike Gravel.
I do NOT like the Fair Tax proposal — 30% on top of the local 7%, issues of discerning new and used (cars, stocks, real estate property, etc) and the likelihood that the tax will be closer to 50%.
The amazing thing is, that’s almost the only major issue we disagree on. I say almost, because I’m not sure what he’s talking about with SS.
The second closest to me is Hillary! The problem there, I’m tired of Bush 41/43, I really don’t want to see Clinton 42/44.
I split Ron Paul and Ron Cox, And they really aren’t even close.

I don’t understand the necessity for you to register to be able to use this site! It seems there are other websites that’ll do the same thing without registering, therefore I didn’t bother even trying.
