Matching your primary candidate
Whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat, it’s hard not to get caught up in the drama of the upcoming Republican primaries. Newt Gingrich has plenty of historical baggage but is currently leading the pack heading into Iowa in the new year, Ron Paul is in second and closing in fast but gets virtually no press, Mitt Romney was thought to be the early frontrunner but hasn’t been able to hold his lead, and other candidates like Herman Cain have made an appearance, wowed everyone for a cool minute, then faded into oblivion.
Like all politicians (and people for that matter), these current Republican candidates are flawed, but we still like to root for someone with whom we associate the most. The problem lately is that Americans spend more time assessing their likes and dislikes of a candidate based on a handful of sound bites or how he or she looks behind a podium rather than voting for the candidate who matches most closely with one’s own beliefs. That’s why Dinner Topics is here to help.
While even the websites themselves might be accused of being biased, it doesn’t hurt to give these polls (found in the links below) a try. Answer the questions according to your own stance on each issue, and the sites will match you up with the candidate most in line with your way of thinking. This way, before you start bashing the “crazy” Michele Bachmann or the overly dry Mitt Romney at your next holiday party, you can find if you should actually be voting for that candidate!
