This website allows you to take and 11 question quiz and it matches you to the candidate. Then, you can rank the importance of various issues and see if the match changes.
Were you surprised by the results? Why? What did you learn from the exercise? Would you add to or change the questions?
I took the trivia quiz and missed one.
Have fun.

http://www.glassbooth.org is an awesome website that asks you several questions on different policies and then matches you with a candidate. It takes 5 minutes and is really interesting. Once you see the results of which candidate, the website shows you which topics you agreed with the candidate and which topics were different. The website is very informative and a great way to see where you stand in this election.
I ended up with Barack Obama. I was very pleased with this result because I am rooting for him! Hilary Clinton was my next choice and then Huckabee.
Hope you check it out

This is a campaign video introducing Rick Noriega as a candidate. We found it interesting that his choices of speakers were very personal, not political. Most of his campaign seems to be focused on presenting him as a “everyday Joe” instead of a serious politician. His 3rd grade teacher seemed to think that Noriega was a natural leader, and his family praised his personality. He draws support from interest groups such as the NAACP and the army. This video is divided into sections that compliment separate qualities. Since this is an introduction to Noriega, it has a lighter and less negative feel and doesn’t focus on opponents. “Rick’s your man. He’s got your back.”
