Interesting. Upon closer examination, I don't think I made the supremacy of the economic opinions clear enough.

I'm a bit surprised that there are no Republicans in my top matches. Maybe I'm a bit too liberal, but on the other hand I have always been attracted to communitarianism, which I believe is one of the pillars of the Republican Party.
(By the way, I am not an American resident so I can't vote. I'm very much interested in American politics though.)

I don't think of the Republicans as being communitarian. They are very much organized towards economic policies that stress individualism, which is the opposite of communitarianism. The Republicans might be open to the possibility of something that resembles communitarianism in the churches, but this is secondary to representing the interests of big business. Communitarianism isn't something that the Democrats have embraced whole-heartedly, either. But their economic policies tend more towards it.

He is oddly popular on the web.

I always thought that republicanism and communitarianism were more or less the same thing. After all, both seem to emphasize things like civic virtue and citizen participation. As I understand it, both parties in the US have their roots in this republicanism/communitarianism. But I guess both the Democrats and the Republicans have alienated from their roots in the course of years. I think you're right when you say that the Republicans are more business-oriented now. They're imo more like a libertarian party now, combined with a dash of social conservatism.
In what they say perhaps, not in what they do. I mean, republicans obviously do some very anti-libertarian things.

The candidate I want is the one who is least likely to lie, cheat and steal. The issues aren't as important. They can say that they stand for something but if they're bought off by the oil companies, that's all they stand for.
