CHAT: Presidential Candidate Selector

CHAT: Presidential Candidate Selector

A SelectSmart Survey matching you with your best Presidential candidate. Here are my results:

1. Your ideal theoretical candidate. (100%)
2. Bush, President George W. - Republican (66%)
3. Libertarian Candidate (61%)
4. Gephardt, Rep. Dick, MO - Democrat (51%)
5. Edwards, Senator John, NC - Democrat (46%)
6. Lieberman, Senator Joe, CT - Democrat (40%)
7. Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat (40%)
8. Dean, Gov. Howard, VT - Democrat (34%)
9. Kucinich, Rep. Dennis, OH - Democrat (31%)
10. Phillips, Howard - Constitution (26%)
11. Clark, Retired General Wesley K., AR - Democrat (19%)
12. Moseley-Braun, Former Senator Carol, IL - Democrat (17%)
13. Sharpton, Reverend Al - Democrat (14%)

I am curious about which things Rev. Sharpton and I agree on.

And another one on Ethical Philosophers.

1. Aristotle (100%)
2. Ayn Rand (89%)
3. John Stuart Mill (82%)
4. Aquinas (78%)
5. Epicureans (77%)
6. Spinoza (63%)
7. Jeremy Bentham (59%)
8. Nietzsche (57%)
9. Cynics (56%)
10. Thomas Hobbes (56%)
11. David Hume (55%)
12. Ockham (52%)
13. Kant (51%)
14. Prescriptivism (51%)
15. Jean-Paul Sartre (50%)
16. Plato (45%)
17. St. Augustine (44%)
18. Stoics (39%)
19. Nel Noddings (13%)

I was not surprised at all to find Aristotle at the top of the list (and at 100% no less). I was, however, truly surprised to see Mill toward the top. Odd, that. As for the Epicureans, I would have expected them to rate higher. There is much more to their philosophy than most people understand.

Thanks to Mitch at his Window Manager blog for pointing these out.
