for each party? Well surprisingly enough, the ideal candidates for Obama and McCain are… Colin Powell. This is the result of a survey which was powered by an Affinnova algorithm it calls “evolutionary optimization”.

Powell seems to occupy a special place in bipartisan politics. Respected by the right for his service and involvement in the Iraqi Wars, and liked by the left because of his split with the Bush administration while Secretary of State.

Rounding out the top 5 for the dems were:

former Vice President Al Gore and former House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt, who tied for second, followed by Senator Hillary Clinton and former Senator John Edwards.

with Gephardt being a bit of a surprise.

While Powell had a large lead in the Dem list, he narrowly took the to GOP slot.

current Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney tied for second. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani came in fifth.

Me? I think Sarah Palin would make a great choice, or maybe Bonnie Garcia.
