That's a very interesting quiz result. I wonder how it would change if it were to factor in running mates (once we know who Obama is going with, since it might not be Biden).
I was 80% something for Obama and 20% something for Romney in the quiz I took. I was actually also 80% something for the Green candidate (Jill Stein) as well. Shocking that I'd have a lot in common with a female, Jewish doctor from MA.
I am basically a two-issue voter. Sounds stupid but those that are the two things on which I absolutely cannot compromise. These candidates made it super easy for me to make my decision.
I thought they said he was for sure going with Biden? Pretty sure I heard that on CNN late last week.
I heard he wanted Clinton and she said "hell no" because she doesn't want to be associated with him and ruin any chances she has for her own bid in 4 years.
oh that would make my year if she ran again. I heard a while back she wasn't interested in the presidency but I hope I hope I hope.

See, my issue is that I side with Dems on social/women's issue (minus one or two smaller things), and Republicans on finances, military, foreign, etc.
It sucks. It's like I have to CHOOSE which issue is more important to me at the time.
No, I definitely hear you on that one. For me, it's a gut reaction to these issues. I guess I also agree to disagree on those things that don't follow my own beliefs.
Yes, I definitely know who I am voting for. Not that it makes a difference as I am sure my state will be a landslide in one direction, like it always is.
Yes, I know who I am voting for and thankfully the poll supports it while also showing my great disdain for the other major candidate. At least I'm consistent. LOL
One candidate is planning to actively work against some programs and policies that have a direct, positive effect on my life. I can't imagine any possible scenarios that would end up changing my vote.

2008 was a harder decision for me, until VPs were chosen. In order for my vote to change now, my candidates would have to suddenly go completely BSC--like medically bat-shit-crazy. And then I might still vote for them.

and for me, I'm sure that candidate is the opposite of yours. If Obama hadn't been elected, I might still have my last job.

Romney getting elected won't make your job magically reappear.
But I've lurked CE&P enough to know better than to try and engage Pamela on politics.
I got these results: Obama 93% Stein 89% Alexander 78% Paul 36% Romney 19%
By Party:
97% Democratic
89% Green
39% Libertarian
16% Republican
If there's anything I'm surprised by with those results is that I side 19% with Romney. I wouldn't vote for him if there was a gun to my head, ESPECIALLY since he chose Ryan for VP.

I didn't realize that I was agreeing Obama so much. I though I would have more issues sided with Romney... And I am embarrassed to say that I had no idea who Jill Stein was.
92% Jill Stein 91% Obama 73% Stewart Alexander 25% Ron Paul 21% Mitt Romney
94% Democratic 89% Green 33% Libertarian 13% Republican
I may actually vote for Jill Stein, depending on how things look in my state. We're pretty blue so I think I'd be ok. I like her way more than I liked Ralph Nader. (and I don't love Obama-- but like hell I'd vote Romney/Ryan)
