Select a Candidate for 2008
The following is an interesting exercise.... You answer a few questions then click the "find your candidate button" and the program selects the candidate who's position on the issues is most like your own... You may be surprised at what you find....... Click the link below....

Re: Select a Candidate for 2008
I got Chris Dodd too. Perfect match. There again, I have a personal policy of not voting in a country I'm not living in, so I won't be getting my postal vote or vote by proxy sorted out.

I'd never vote for Hillary Clinton.

Chris Dodd appears to be a US Senator from Connecticut. A quick google search will turn up a lot of info - served in the Peace Corps and Army Reserves before turning to public service.

Re: Select a Candidate for 2008
Won't divulge my results as the quiz is obviously fatally flawed 
But it was interesting that my response to the following question was contrary to the stance of several candidates - should anyone who is against this policy be allowed to live, let alone stand for election...

Do you support federal assistance for the production of ethanol and/or biofuel as an alternative to oil?

Re: Select a Candidate for 2008
1. Edwards/Richardson tied
2. Dennis Kucinich
3. Obama/Clinton tied
This election will be my first opportunity to vote since living here.
I'm sure that the quiz is not meant to be taken completely serious as the questions and options are limited, doubt you can pick a candidate based on only 5 or 6 questions.
But what a concept it would be to pick a president based on issues rather than millions of dollars put into dirty smear campaigns and PR
