Just an update on those Presidential candidate vote-match calculators I posted below… I said I get somebody different with each one. I wasn’t kidding. Here are my results:

My top pick: Hunter

I’ve narrowed the field to four or five candidates (not related to those listed above), but I’m not tied to any one of them yet. I guess I’m one of the few GOP voters who is actually optimistic about the field. I see lots of good things in each of the candidates, and in a perfect world I would want to mix and match. So I’m really not sure who I’m going to end up with yet.

UPDATE: Added two more:

Minnesota Public Radio: Select a Candidate

- Fourteen timely questions
- Rankings of all candidates listed

My top pick: (tie) Hunter or Thompson

SelectSmart: Presidential Candidate Selector

- Twenty-six questions
- Unique topics like legal immigration (for once) and slavery reparations
- Annoying ads
My top pick: Keyes
