tell us who matched you best… it’d be interesting to know
Are you kidding??? I assumed it would be Kucinich. What did I miss? Did Obama change his positions on the issues? Anyway, Obama 82%, Kucinich 80%, Hillary, Dodd, Biden, Edwards tightly grouped from just over 70% to just under. Gravel and Richardson bringing up the rear of the Democrats, with Richardson at 57%.
Then Ron Paul at 49%, Giuliani 38% (how’d he score so high?), the rest of the Republicans getting lower and lower until Grandpa’s 14%.
But I’d still like to see a higher score. Obama at 82%. That’s still not high enough to be impressed.
Went back to try out 2004. Nader and Cobb got 97%, Kerry 67%, Bush 12%.
On the Democratic side for 2004 my personal choice, Howard Dean, was ranked 4th, behind Sharpton, Kucinich, Mosely-Braun.
Not surprisingly Lieberman was last.

Choose Peace!
you don’t know him but i see him at the bus stop every once in a while and he looks darn presidential to me
I’m fine with that. Only 83%, but that was my highest. Apparently I’m not overly happy about anyone. That’s about right, too.

What should the Pony Awards be all about? Anyone have suggestions?
http://www.dharmadoc…
Best of the blogs for the week?
Worst of the pundits for the week?
Politicians that get it?
Politicians that don’t?
Who should the Pony go to?
says Dennis at or above 94%, so that’s whom I’m contributing to and voting for. Especially after yesterdays move in the house. Go Dennis!
I can’t vote for you, but I’ll send a few quid anyway seeing as how you came out 89%.

Who are Alan Augustson, Elaine Brown and Kent McManigal?
I was suprised that Obama ended up scoring highly for me.
None of them inspire wacky passions in me.
Kuchinch
Obama
Biden
can’t remember
can’t remember
can’t remember
Dodd
I’m really surprised Biden was 3rd and Obama was second. I am seriously considering voting for Dodd, so the fact he came out 6th was surprising.
then Obama etc…seems like all the Dems were my top matches.
I just can’t figure out how Alan Keyes got a 16% with me? And Gingrich got 12% I wouldn’t rate either that high even if no rocks were available!
