No, not really, the Democrats simply go with Ron Paul on that list, Obama really should have been included.

If we go to bizzaro world, and only Democrats could vote in the general election, and the only 2 choices were Ron Paul and Mitt Romney. They would pick Ron Paul?
No way!
Eh. Paul would certainly take a larger share of the vote in that scneario than in one where only the Republicans vote. Turnout would be lower, obviously.

Paul would win the younger Democrats' vote, obviously, and that's what's going on in the poll here too - Democrats are a clear majority on this site, and Paul is simply the candidate selector result (among those four options) for most of them.

I had to pick "none of these suicide methods, importance high" on, like, a third of these sick jokes of answer options.

Yeah, the choices were terrible. Where was the normal "gay marriage is a human right which nobody should be concerned about" option? Or where was the "oil sucks period" answer? I didn't pick NOTA, but I should have.

Huntsman 70.6%
Bachmann 54.7%
Santorum 54.7%

I'm surprised that I could get Huntsman and Bachmann so close to each other.

Obama followed by Huntsman.   Bachmann was third, but even with Santorum and Romney..  Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul were both last.

Interesting.

Took the test with my natural cares - rolled out Perry, Bachmann and Gingrich.

Readjusted for balance, Perry, Gingrich, Bachmann (ie, I care 50 percent).

Readjusted for prominence, Bachmann, Santorum, Perry.

Gay marriage, Health Care, Afghanistan and Climate change become my top 4 issues.

I'm surprised at how high Newt figured into it. There should be a button that distinguishes between caring about the issue, and caring about the position on the issue - many candidates are close.

A better test would let me flag 'acceptable' and 'unacceptable' to all the opinions, not just one.

Ron Paul 90.7% 9/11
Rick Santorum 43.4% 3/11
Newt Gingrich 28.3%, 1/11

This is just what I thought.  President Obama comes in right behind Gingrich also with 1/11.
