Andrew Sullivan goes Joementum!!

hahahaahahahahaaha...send him an email [e-mail]

TAKING THE TEST: So I took Dan Drezner's cue and went to the Presidential Match Guide, which asks various questions about public policy and then determines whom you should vote for. I was a little taken aback. It's probably my liberal instincts on things like the death penalty, gay rights, and immigration, but George W. Bush ended up my last choice - after every single Democrat. He's behind Al Sharpton! Of course, they didn't have a question like: do you think a race-baiting demagogue would be a good president? Or: does the mental stability of former generals play a role in your decision? Still, I'm struck that I turn out to be such a Democrat on the issues. For the record: my computer-generated preferences were in descending order: Lieberman 100 percent, Kerry 95, Clark 90, Edwards 88, Sharpton 86, Dean 83, Kucinich 76, Bush 61. I think this basically debunks the entire exercise. Or else it's more evidence that I am one conflicted political animal. But then you knew that already.

1. kick n/t

[calimary]

2. Well, well, well.

How 'bout that.

I bet there are LOTS of people who don't realize they've bet the farm on a bunch of smoke and mirrors.

[windansea]

pretty funny....n/t

[NWHarkness]

3. What it proves....

is that Sullivan is an unprincipled media whore.

[MrBenchley]

6. What else does it say?

EVERYBODY in Sully's own test came out ahead of the unelected drunk Sullivan has been pushing on the rest of us...

[windansea]

7. kind if funny he would report this

when he didn't have to

[MrBenchley]

4. That makes him.....and Joe...

...and the demented dink who runs Newsmax. Haven't heard of many others in the Lieberman camp.

The joe-mentum bandwagon is really rolling now!

[windansea]

5. this should put Joe over the top

heh heh

[MAlibdem]

8. I took the test

Kucinich-100%
Sharpton-98%
Kerry-94%
Dean-89%
Clark-85%
Edwards-83%
Lieberman-79%


I thought it was odd about Kucinich, I did support the war.
Sharpton made "hymie-town" comments, right?
Then there's my man, JFK.


Still holding out for the Kerry-Edwards ticket.

12. I took the test

and, surprisingly, the results were almost exactly how I have my candidates ranked. Usually, the results of these things have no bearing on reality but this one really surprised me.

[tishaLA]

15. No, Sharpton did not make the

"hymie town" comments. That was Rev. Jackson, who apologized twenty years ago for making them.

9. Gays will vote 90% Democratic in November

Gays were 70% for Gore in 2000, but the gay marriage issue and the Republican gay-bashing will drive more of them into the Democratic column this fall.

[Dark Star]

17. So Sullivan will be part of that 10% then.

:puke:


(You do know he's gay, right? How can he still support BushCo?)


BTW, I came out 100% Kucinich and 92% Sharpton but would never vote for either one. I'm horrified to admit I came out 14% Bush, so I've decided the test is completely flawed. :evilgrin:

[Leilani]

10. "mental stability of former generals"

ah yes, the old Republican smear against military heroes...

they always go after Clark, trying to knock him out so they can face someone easier to defeat.

[windansea]

14. uh huh...AS couldn't help but toss that in n/t

[dae]

11. That was fun...

Kucinich..100%
Sharpton...90%
Kerry......88%
Dean.......83%
Clark......82%
Edwards....77%
Leiberman..71%
Bush.......12%

I left Repubs in the mix. Don't ask me where the hell that 12% came from with the # 1, and 2 I'm showing.

BTW, I'm still supporting Clark.

[dsc]

13. I took this

and have to say a couple of things.

First, I suspect the still have Kucinich as pro life. I am pro life and this is what I got back.

Kucinich 100%, Kerry 84%, Dean 79%, Edwards 73%, Lieberman 67%, Bush 13%.

I also think that some of their categories is overly broad. I wish they would have let me state my feelings about which political experience candidates had. I think my insistance on some elimiated Clark and Sharpton from consideration. But I also prefer executive experience to legislative experience and that wasn't ranked.

It is a cute test though.

[windansea]

16. right...

noticed that too
