[RubberMallet]

tancredo and bob barr were my top ones...mccain 51% and obama 42%

[Sly Fox]

Forgive my ignorance, but is that Wayne Allyn Root the gambling barker in Vegas?

[LUconn]

How could they possibly compare you with Colbert? He never had a platform or anything on record. All you've got to go on his complete parody of a TV personality.

http://selectsmart.com/president/2008/Colbert.html that's what information they have on him.

[LUconn]

1. Alan Keyes (withdrawn) (81%)
2. Stephen Colbert (campaign halted) (80%)
3. Tom Tancredo (withdrawn, endorsed Romney) (80%)
4. Duncan Hunter (withdrawn, endorsed Huckabee) (76%)
5. Mitt Romney (withdrawn, endorsed McCain) (75%)
6. Bob Barr (73%)

man, that took way too long to get to somebody that's still running. Newt is my #7 man and I'd have a tough time voting for any of these other guys over him. Although it'd be a tossup between him and Keyes.


Barack Obama (28%)

Is Slavery Reparations really an issue? Has this ever been an issue for anybody other than a few wack jobs?

[WinthropEagleFan]

Yep, it's the same guy. He's Bob Barr's running mate on the Libertarian ticket.

You can expect it to become an issue if the Dems sweep into office off the November election. Up until this point it has been nothing more than Op-Ed fodder.

[jcmanson]

My highest candidate which is actually running is McCain at 51%, he was 9th on my total list. Exactly how I feel about the election, McCain since there's noone else.

Obama 27%

[BarackNRoll08]

1. Theoretical Ideal Candidate (100%)
2. Barack Obama (72%)

Haha I guess my ideal President doesn't exist. At least Obama came in 2nd. Not the least bit surprised.

[Hold My Own]

Oh no...mine was Theoretical Ideal Candidate too....

[BarackNRoll08]

Oh no...mine was Theoretical Ideal Candidate too....

I assure you that my theoretical candidate is probably nothing like yours... no worries.

[Hold My Own]

[4everfsu]

At least Obama came in 2nd. I hope that is the case come Nov

[BarackNRoll08]

At least Obama came in 2nd. I hope that is the case come Nov

We shall see.

I don't think the "Theoretical Ideal Candidate" was a result, but a gauge for your selections to come:)

statistical comparison to the people available.

We should kick off Obama supporters from the board!!!

[thepostman]

Bob Barr was on the top of my list...then the next one on my list still actually in the race was John McCain...

Maybe I really am a Libertarian in denial...

No, it said "1. Theoretical Ideal Candidate." Then Obama.

Why should Obama supporters be kicked off the board?

Libertarian is the way to go. That is who I have been planning on voting for for a while now, although with McCain being so high on my list I am going to compare the two now to see if Bob Barr or McCain is who I want to vote for.
