I was matched up with - surprise - RON PAUL and then by a WIDE gap, Thompson and Hunter.

Wow, I dunno how much I wanna trust this poll. I did get Ron Paul as #1 by a huge margin, but then it said my next best choices were Hillary and Rudy O_O

When I played around with the sliders on the right side, the Ghoul came up at the #2 spot on mine on the health care question and on the same sex marriage question. If you'll notice, the candidates are matched up with you based on the information on their campaign websites - not necessarily on their past records.

That candidate game is biased to the Republican party. Check the "popular vote" box and notice that all the Republicans are at the top and all the Democrats are at the bottom. It isn't for "entertainment purposes". Its for the Republican party. I mean that isn't exactly 100% proof but its proof enough for me.

Yup, same here. Although it varied with the sliders.

I felt the quiz was too... incomplete? No Patriot Act/ID/etc. questions, and none on many other issues I find important. Also, the options in the quiz were not mutually exclusive. Like... I might want to implement two of the healthcare ideas, for example.

However, the growing graph is nice.

I'd like to see a get-together with the three of them in the same room. Woo we, talk about an odd group to have together. :)

We need some help on this poll. If you look at the overall poll, Romney is 1st, Huckster 2nd, and Thompson 3rd.
