Confirmation

I usually hate those "What Candidate To Is Right for You" questionnaires. The questions never reflect the nuances that have to go into developing a real, informed, adult opinion on any serious issue.

But, like the Monkeys, I took the AOL Presidential Match Guide. The results, ranked in order:

  1. Bush (with 100% compatibility, which is absurd, because he spends too much)
  2. Lieberman
  3. Edwards (these last two are probably accurate - if you held a gun to my head and said "Vote for a Dem", and the gun wasn't big enough to kill me instantly but would only leave me in a chronic vegetative state, I'd vote for one of these two)
  4. Dean (I thought he ranked here because of his stances on guns, until I saw 5-8)
  5. Kerry
  6. Clark (huh? I think Kerry and Clark are equally dismal!) Actually, the scary part is that Edwards and Clark's compatibility rankings went fro Edwards' 58 to Clark's 56% - which may show how little truly separates these four guys...
  7. Sharpton
  8. Kucinich
No surprises...
