My mother insisted I take this poll she found while netsurfing at work.  It's actually kinda interesting, by weighting your interest with responses to five-choice questions about ten issues, and tells you which Presidential candidates (including Obama, but no extra parties) you most align with.  If you're informed about issues (or can recognize silhouettes), you'll probably know where each answer is going.  If not, you might learn something.  The results could surprise you - my grandmother got Ron Paul, and she's a lifelong Democrat.

In the interest of full disclosure, I've actually had roadkill too. Rabbit a la VW Beetle. (My first few years were spent with mother, and she had the whole white trash thing going on big-time).

But I believe what Perry was referring to would likely be sun-dried armadillo nuggets with a road-tar glaze.

BTW, here's an excellent LA Times article about the whole BBQ fooferaw, complete with a brief history of the connection between barbecue and politics in the South.

Apparently, I don't agree with Bachmann or Santorum on anything. Not that I'm terribly surprised, mind you, but still.

Is Romney on that survey in some sort of quantum state?

(I got Obama, though with a low percentage.)

[Aqizzar]

Judging by the general tenor of the thread, I imagine a lot of people are going to get Obama for their highest percentage.  It's how your Top Three line up that's supposed to be noteworthy.

A) Obama. B) Newt Gingrich!? C) Ron Paul.

B) Newt Gingrich!?

You must have answered "As often as possible" to the "Marriage?" question.

I dislike that survey because its options range from the absurdly pro-corporate to the mildly pro-corporate.  Under the energy question, each one was a different flavor of "increase oil production".

The scary part is when you mouse down, and realize that every option given to you is one espoused by a candidate, including the incumbent President, and includes no positions that are not being espoused besides "None of the above".

That might be the most illuminating part.

Well, I would be polyamorous if my wife would let me.

That's because each candidates stance is a variation of "increase oil production", obviously.

Ninja Edit: Ninja'ed, damn.

I got, and color me amazed:
Romney(47.5%), Paul(47.5%), Obama(45%), in that order.

Each of them managed to score less than 50% though, so that will probably tell you something. I'd be willing to bet if Johnson were on here, you'd have seen him get significantly higher.

[Strife26]

I came up with Mitt, Obama, Huntsman, but I'm fairly sure I'd get different results if I did it again.

[Frumple]

Well, I would be polyamorous if my wife would let me.

Even if it went toward polyandry? You'd probably have better luck convincing her of that

[GlyphGryph]

Also, folks! Remember to adjust your sliders on the side to mirror importance of issues!

[Darvi]

I got Obama-Paul-Perry. None of them any significant synergy, though.

Note that I have absolutely no clue about half of the subjects there and gave somewhat haphazard answers to those.
