Time to start watching the campaigns...
As if I wasn't already...

Mom sent me a link to this Presidential Candidate Selector. It's supposed to be unbiased and based on the official positions given by the campaigns. I took the test and my results are below. I won't be voting for John McCain, but I believe he's a non-starter anyway. I've had my eye on number 5, but I'm not sure he can build the momentum he needs because the press doesn't seem to be very interested in his candidacy, now that he's actually a candidate. I'm kind of amazed that Mitt Romney ranked higher for me than Giuliani. On the other hand, it's not like you can count on the main stream media to actually give you the candidate's positions. They're much more into the scandals and bloopers.

In other news, it looks like Hillary is the (viable) Democrat for me. Now, picture me having a heart attack and collapsing on the floor.

Take the test and see if your candidate is who you thought it was...(there are a few ads)
