Apparently my choice for president is - Mike Gravel?
Edited on Sun Jan-06-08 03:04 PM by unapatriciated
I took the quiz at ABC's - Match-o-matic
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2610707&mesg_id=2610707

I love Mike's ad though

According to ABC my actual first choice (Kucinich) is really my second choice - what do I know?

5. I think his being a good man negates strategic mishaps. When the smoke
clears, I want a good person in public service and not merely a shrewd tactician.

In Robert F. Kennedy, you really had both, but there just aren't that many Robert F. Kennedy's to be had in a given election cycle, and we lost the one that was within reach of the White House.

12. Hi, leftchick. Good for you. Stick to your guns. The corporations of
course would love to control not only our elections but all of our consumer habits as well.

I say we make that an insurmountably difficult task!

2. Everybody in my family
took that test, and every single one of us came up with Mike as our ideal candidate. I love the guy, frankly, but of course he doesn't stand a chance. I'm just happy I got the chance to have him as my senator back in the late '70s.

7. Hi, OC.
Are you having a good day? I'm feeling rather buoyed after John Edwards' debate last night.

8. Pretty darned good day. I hope you are, too. Agree -- John Edwards
was strong and persuasive last night.

I hope a lot of Democrats coast to coast tuned in, or will watch the replay.

11. don't be
Disney skewed the poll with some questions that were much like the questions a fortune teller asks. So they get close but no cigar.
