Pick Your Candidate

Before I even took this survey - I already knew who more closely mirrored my views. This survey confirmed my belief.. It is a fun little test that anyone can take - maybe you will be surprised.

Remember - we can't change things if we don't get involved!!!!!

Here is what the test says:


What do these results mean? The results are very simple. The table below lists the candidates in the order by which they most closely matched the criteria you just entered. Some of these candidates are no longer in the race. To the right of each candidate is a list of the items which you and the candidate explicitly disagreed upon and a list of the items that you expressed support or approval of but for which the candidate's position is unknown/other. Disagreements are not listed for candidates who have negative scores.

Can I VOTE already?

OK, so now I am upset.  It is a day before the IOWA caucuses and Dennis Kucinich has as much conceded - at least temporarily.


He feels that he might not make the cut off for voting.  He has asked, if this happens to support Barak Obama.  I am stunned, actually.  I honestly do not know why he would do that?!  To me -Edwards is a more likely candidate (closer in alignment to K's views.).
 
Originally, I had heard that Kucinich was dropping out of the race all together - this turned out to be a false story........K has only asked our supporters in IOWA to have a second option if needed.
 
Good to know he's still in the race!
 
Well, I do get to vote on Feb 5th - and I will be voting for Kucinich!!!
