This is a candidate match game to see how well you line up with the present candidates. You answer 11 questions and it will give you a score of the top 3 matches. This was put out by USA Today. I took it and here are my results. http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/candidate-match-game

Ron Paul with a 66.7% - 6 of 11 questions
Newt Gingrich with 53.4% - 4 of 11
Michele Bachmann 40.1% - 2 of 11

My take on results. Very happy with Ron Paul as first. Would have thought maybe a higher score.

Newt Gingrich in 2nd is a farce. What he's telling people he will do is one thing and actually doing it is another as his political track record shows he's a career liar.

Was surprised with Michele Bachmann coming in at 3rd. On most issues she tries to copy cat Ron Paul in one way or another, of course not sure about her sincerity on all issues.

8/11 for Ron Paul.

Some of those questions are poorly worded, to put it mildly.

I agree. I have beliefs but wasn't quite sure how to answer.

That test is not accurate. I found the wording deceptive.

1. RP 54.1% 5/11
2. Huntsman 34.1% 1/11
3. Perry 32.15 2/11

Lots of leading questions that don't always have answers that match the RP platform.

I took the test. 4/11 for Ron Paul, 4/11 for Jon Huntsman, 2/11 for someone that I don't even want to mention.

I would say that the test is flawed or I still need more Ron Paul education... Or both.

In any case, I will be voting for the only politician that I trust.

The problem was the questions were policy based not principle based.

69.8% for Ron Paul. 6/11. Rest was a 2/11 or less.

There definitely could have been more options in the answers under some questions besides "none of the above."

1. Ron Paul 94.6% *** 8/11
2.Rick Perry 54.4%*** 3/11
3. Michelle Bachman 31%*** 1/11

A very confusing test. Don't know how they calculate this.

1) Paul 67.3%
2) Romney 36.5%
3) Obama 31%

It would be interesting to see how this is calculated, I wouldn't have thought that I "agree" more with Pres. Obama than 6 Republican candidates...
