polyticks.

So while i voted for a mrs. president in the ohio primaries, i have been a little torn lately. everyone is calling for H to bow out and hand it over to Barack. others say one just needs to accept the vice position, and that way the democrats won't lose any of their votes. i don't really know if that will ever happen, but i also don't like the idea of the dems fighting and fighting against each other, no matter how civilized it is. it seems to be a waste of money and time.

don't get too excited, dad! i'm still voting dem no matter what. but i wasn't so sure i made the right choice with my prelim vote.

Well, today i plugged into the live feed from WVXU at work to enjoy diane reems, fresh air, and day to day while I go about my business. and then I noticed this little link. Finally! Someone collected everyones issues and just let me take a little Seventeen Magazine quiz to find out who i should vote for.

Basically, by taking a five minute quiz you chose how you feel for issues like the war in Iraq, global warming legislature, and the death penalty. When you finish, you see a point ranking based on how your choices matched up with the major presidentail candidates, as well as how important that issue is to you. So my top two are as follows (no surprise), and i included the topics that I didn't match with them on.

Hillary Clinton 22.0 Iran The mortgage crisis Gun control


Barack Obama 21.0 The mortgage crisis Education

Sorry dad. The average score for McCain was 10 and I only registered a 3 with him. But please do notice Barack's view on gun control, which is one of the few issues where I dissagree with the average dem at the farmers market. So while I do think that No Child Left Behind is bunk and stem-cell research is important (especially for diseases like alzheimers), i fall extremely right of the line when it comes to banning guns being the answer to all crime in the US.

My running partner Shannon is probably shaking her head and sighing right now. But she's from Wisconsin. She'll get over it. Also, just in case you're wondering, Seventeen magazine analyzed what I would be if I was a shoe, and decided that I'm a "Flat," and that "your unique personality and sense of style put you ahead of the trends, and you aren't afraid to wear what you want," which basically means, um, you're weird and probably choose kale over regular iceberg lettuce. I wonder if the girls who are "Sneakers," are told that they love Paula Poundstone, and those who are "Heels," are applauded for their ability to flirt. Thanks for the deep revelations on my soul, seventeen.
