Have you seen this survey
that is supposed to help you pick your candidate?

I ended up with Dennis Kucinich which did not surprise me. I had been leaning Richardson but he ended up fourth on my list.

2. For anyone who thinks they like Ron Paul...
take this or a similar survey, and see how he ranks.

4. Neato.

Dennis Kucinich
Barack Obama/Hillary Clinton
Edwards
Paul

I'm going to make my dad take this survey and see if he gets candidate that he can't stand. He keeps telling me that DK is a "little commie" but agrees with me on many policy decisions. It should be interesting.

7. I despise things like this. They skew the pharasing to gear moderates toward Republicans

9. problem comes when they deal in absolutes. They try to frame things to make it sound
like if you are a Democrat, you want Iraq to just be left as a mess. Black and White, and all the grey areas default to repigs.

10. I got Edwards.
Funny, I was leaning away from him at the debates.

12. I was surprised
at my lineup too. I wonder how much personality plays in the decision on who to support in real life. Not that it isn't important in it's own way. When you need to get a nation fired up on your vision, speaking style and personality can be an important asset or as we see now detriment.
