Is it Clinton, Obama or McCain? PriceGrabber Has an Answer for You!

PriceGrabber, an online comparison shopping site, has a nifty little idea. Its Election Guide allows you to “shop” for a presidential candidate by comparing them on the issues. After completing a Candidate Match survey, in which you choose you stances on the issues, PriceGrabber tells you which candidate best represents your views.

Jon Rubenstein, who works with PriceGrabber, asked me to try it. He assures me "We are non-partisan, have no affiliation with any of the candidates, and are not taking advertising on the Election Guide. Our founders were very interested in politics, and this is actually the third Presidential election for which we've created a guide."

After completing the questionnaire, it looks like I support the Irishman, O'Bama, agreeing with him 49% of the time. Clinton and I are closer than I thought. She and I see eye to eye on 41% of the issues.

McCain is in the basement with a shabby 24%.

Although Obama is my first choice, McCain is my second. That's probably because the guide fails to account for the personality factor, which is important to any presidential vote I cast.

Update: Is this thing fixed. A fiend f mine, Ellen, just took this survery, and I entered her answers for her. She's practically a Nazi, althogh she's an environmentalist Nazi. The results show O'Bama her choice.
