Title: Rate the GOP Field, policy edition
Post by: SSG Snuggle Bunny on May 24, 2011, 06:53:34 AM
Divide the GOP candidates into 3 tiers, not based on electability, but on how much they mirror your policy preferences:

Tier 1 - OMG! Yay! Please Mr(s). candidate, autograph my left breast!

Tier 2 - Meh. At least voting for him/her would give me an excuse to go in late on election day.

Tier 3 - Oh hell no! Obama can keep the damn White House!

Only those people that have announced or have a strong likelihood to announce should be listed.


Current field that I'm aware of:

Michelle Bachmann
 
Herman Cain
 
Newt Gingrich
 
Jon Huntsman
 
Gary Johnson
 
Sarah Palin
 
Tim Pawlenty
 
Mitt Romney
 
Rick Santorum

Ron Paul - America's Favorite Angry Gynecologist (or AFAG, for short)

Snuggles, I need four categories, not just three:

1  =  Got that ole Reagan feelin' agin
2  =  GW Redux
3  =  McCain me with a spoon
4  =  Stayin' home  (I really won't, but I'll be holding my nose and fighting my gag reflex)

So here's how I rate your list thus far:

Michelle Bachmann  =  1.5
 
Herman Cain  = 1.5
 
Newt Gingrich  = 3.25
 
Jon Huntsman  = 3
 
Gary Johnson = 2.5
 
Sarah Palin  =  1
 
Tim Pawlenty  = 2
 
Mitt Romney  = 3
 
Rick Santorum =  2

Ron Paul - America's Favorite Angry Gynecologist (or AFAG, for short)  = 3.5

I reserve the right to change my ratings, based on events as they develop.

Except for Cain, none of the above.

You're saying:

 Obama > Bachmann

 Obama > Pawlenty

etc.?

No, I don't like the choices. If you want a rating, the field sucks, however any of them would be better than Dear Leader.
