(Not sure why, but that's what I did). First time: Romney Second time: Obama Only canidate on both lists: Richardson. This confirms what I've always suspected...I'm a wishy-washy, fence-sitting, independant. I did it twice…once with lots of thought, once without. (Not sure why, but that’s what I did).

First time: Romney
Second time: Obama

Only canidate on both lists: Richardson.

This confirms what I’ve always suspected…I’m a wishy-washy, fence-sitting, independant.

Ron Paul However, I think the scoring system is a little simplistic. Ideally they should let you rank each option on an agree / disagree scale. 1. Fred Thompson

Romney 2. Brownback 3. Huckabee The amazing thing is that this order is about how I would have weighted the candidates before taking the computer crash quiz. However, after Huckabee's sleezy campaign, I wouldn't consider him. I'm an independent, but the Dems didn't do well on issues that mattered to me. I also lean libertarian.

Romney 2. Huckabee 3. Hunter/Guliani (depending on how I adjust the weights at the end) Although I think the validitiy of the quiz is extremely questionable, which I think the creators would agree with since they do call it a game, after all. Personally I'm debating between Romney and McCain, so I'm trying to figure out why McCain isn't in my top 3. Looks like it is because he was not a governor, and because I chose a different answer on the tax question (but I agree with his also). 1. Romney

I don't have a blogspot account anymore, so can't comment there, but the inside picture you give of Ezra Taft Benson is wonderful. Also, the time SWK kissed you on the cheek is incredible.

And that might be a reason why we enjoy so much prosperity today.
