If your wondering who you should vote for (as I am) then remove the fog, check out the Presidential Match website. Takes about 5-10 minutes to run through it and gives you the candidate your most aligned with. I was not totally surprised to see who they thought I should vote for. Dubbyah
Posted by Muddy at February 27, 2004 09:30 PM | TrackBackI've done it just for fun. The poll says I should vote (if i could) for some democratic candidates I've never heard off with bush at a low of 13% ...
Here's some info on potential deflation

I'm now playing the Cassandra role.
And wonder how to turn that into positive action.
All I get to win is 50 dollars out of cwilli. There must be more intelligent things to do.
Bush/Cheney '04: Don't Change Horsemen in Mid-Apocalypse!

I dunno, the guy I liked dropped out weeks ago. So unless the liberterians pull someone in from the non-isolationist wing of the party, then it'll be Bush for me.
Posted by: skywalker at March 3, 2004 09:12 AMI hate those polls....they never ask all the right questions nor do they ever have the specific answers listed that *I* would like to choose from. Who makes up these questions? They should be fired! :-)
Well, on what they *did* have to choose from, the candidate for me came as no surprise. See ya at the polls :-)

I thought it was a riot too, but I have to admit that it's not my line. I read it somewhere else and found if both funny and fitting enough that I just had to co-opt it.;)
"I dunno, the guy I liked dropped out weeks ago. So unless the liberterians pull someone in from the non-isolationist wing of the party, then it'll be Bush for me"
Fair enough.
I will most likely hold my proverbial nose and vote for John Kerry, though he wasn't even my 3rd choice. However, I'd like to see him avoid popular pressure and decline to select John Edwards as his running mate. He's an eloquent speaker where Kerry is about as charismatic as a lead pipe, but he is wildly inexperienced politically, and has been all over the park on the issues. Besides that, I try to picture in my mind the VP debate on national TV between Senator Edwards and Vice-President Cheney, and the mental image I come up with is a debate between Huckleberry Hound and Emperor Palpatine.
With Nader running, it is vitally important for the Dems to reach out to and actively include the progressive wing in the nomination and platform processes at the convention, IF they really wish to defeat Junior this fall. To that end, I'd rather see Kerry choose a more truly progressive leader as his VP candidate; someone like Howard Dean, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.... or hell, even Rep. Dennis Kucinich...that would give Nader no reason at all to remain in the race.
Aside from the fact that I disagree with his politics, my biggest gradge against Kerry is that he doesn't even stand behind his own statements, votes or principals. He consistently has contradicted himself (NAFTA, Iraq, defense, PATRIOT Act, you name it.) Lieberman, whose politics I sure didn't agree with completely (on par with Bush honestly), but at least he stood for something.
I hate to say, but Nader is staying. Not that it matters, I'm not a liberal, or a Democrat. There just happened to be one Democrat that I liked (well, if Zell Miller would run, I'd vote for him too.) As far as my politics are concerned, Nader is a good thing. Frankly, I'm pretty convinced that Nov. will be a close election, but Bush will probably win.

Wonder what I should predict next ?

I believe we are entering into a messianic era. So I see one messaiah coming, within 20 years.

It looks like depression is starting now, with stock markets falling all over the world...
Who knows ... This may just be an early sign.
But let me take one more chance at predicting. It has started. That day where they announced low job creations in february ... Was it 3 days ago. And now Starts a new era.
With corporations out, and green in control.
In the mean time, let us have that financial meltdown we need...
