Just came up with an idea for an interesting website, that would go as follows:
1) Ask the user which candidate they prefer (or preferred in case of candidates that have given up)
2) Ask the user some twenty or so random questions about policy (maybe the user could first select how many questions to be asked, with a note that the more questions he/she answers the more accurate the results will be). Questions about taxes, foreign policy, etc.
3) Show the user which presidential candidate's platform is closest to their answers, and how far off their actual views are from the candidate they selected in the beginning, if there is a discrepancy.
The page wouldn't specifically be a pro-Paul page, but I suspect it would be a good way to have people take a second look at their policies. If an independent anti-Iraq War person with John McCain in mind as a candidate were to find out that he's actually for staying in Iraq for a long period of time it might cause them to have second thoughts.
For the site to be successful though it would have to be completely neutral. But I think it would still benefit Ron Paul as a lot of people aren't aware how close their views actually are to Ron Paul.
The name of the site might be something like 'a second opinion' or something related.
Sound interesting?
