    The questions about what organizations you support seem to hold a lot of weight. It doesn't leave much middle ground in there either - you're either "pro-gun" or "anti-gun," pro-abortion or anti-abortion. I'm more moderate in my views on these things, but the possible responses polarize the viewpoints a bit, and the cop-out third choice doesn't seem to be the right answer either. I'm surprised that Bill Bradley and John McCain weren't higher in my list, and positively shocked to see Al Sharpton above them!

    I don't know how I got Dean at 100% (even though I have had him pegged as my guy for a while), because I'm all about interventionist foreign policy if it's done right. I kind of get the impression he isn't. Hrmm, maybe I agree with him more than I thought.

    I really wouldn't put to much stock in this survey if I were you.

    Naturally, I'm just curious what logic is behind the poll's mechanism that would allow 100% when I am adamantly pro-war and he is anti-war.

    If I can think of something really witty and sharp to say about this will you not take it too personally since I'll be poking fun at you?

    the funny part is that since there are only one or two viable republican canidates, with GWB in office, there will only be two republican choices. but you're bound to get at least 10 democratic ones.



    the really weird part is McCain didn't even make my list, and i voted for him in the primary. not sure i'm buying this test though.

    re: interventionist foreign policy;

    has it been done right yet?

    consistantly even handedly, by anyone in history? i'm not being cynical, or poking fun, because i think i would lean that way, if i thought it could work. but i'm not sure it can.

    i mean, is there a model?
