Politics as usual?
Does anybody truly support any of the frontrunners in the Presidential campaign? Does anybody care about any of the issues in the Presidential campaign?
If you are at all curious about which candidates actually agree with you regarding some of the most important issues of the day, spend 2-3 minutes and take this survey:
[H]ere's a really simple way to find out which candidates share your views. This script is composed entirely of data collected by www.2decide.com. Enter your choices below and hit GO to rank the candidates.
I was skeptical of this quiz at first, but after a quick glance the methodology and data seem sound. After taking the quiz, I only had one so-called "front-runner" in my top 3. The quiz did help reaffirm my "ideal" choice, as well as help solidify my support for one of the so-called "front-runners" that will probably be left standing toward the end of primary season.
Once you are done examining your results, go and check out the net-wide results. I realize this survey may result from a skewed sample, but the results nonetheless are interesting. Surprise, surprise...just like the crowning of your high school prom king and queen, the current Presidential race looks decidedly like another sort of contest that isn't exactly based upon policy.
Oh, and if all this political talk has got you down, everybody needs to get a blimp, 'coz blimps are pretty pimp. I suppose you could also get a My-Little-Pony, or build an awesome domino rally. Thanks to b3ta for these last few links.Labels: campaign, quiz, State of the Union
