What a day. It's gonna be huge. Calling it super Tuesday might be a little much though. I mean I know it's my birthday and all, but people can relax. Next year for my 30th you can call it super Thursday (leap year).
Oh yeah, and it's also the primaries. Guess we'll have to go vote before we go out to dinner. I still haven't fully made up my mind on who to vote for. A dem of course, hello. I heard about a nifty website called Glass Booth. You rank the issues on importance, answer about 10 questions (it's short) and it tells you the candidates you most closely agree with.
Hillary was the winner for me. We agreed on 86% of the issues. Mike Gravel (is he still even running) and John Edwards were tied for second at 84% similarity. Obama was third at 81%. It also tells you how you agree or disagree with each candidate. Just for fun you can compare your answers against another candidates from a dropdown menu. I put Mike Huckabee and it was only 26% similarity (the lowest of the republicans). It said we strongly disagree on almost every issue. Gee, ya think. President Huck. Whoa, scary thought.
I still haven't made up my mind yet. The top two have definite pros and cons. A twofer might not be too shabby. A little "change" might be a good thing too. I can't vote for John Edwards because he's all about guns. I've been told I have radical gun beliefs - I think only law enforcement should have guns, period. No hand guns, no hunting rifles, nothing. If parents didn’t have guns around the house Columbine might not have happened. And if the gun laws weren't so lax then the medically ill declared kid from Virginia Tech might not have been able to buy a gun. "Might" be the operative word in those sentences, but still.
Anyway, it's kinda interesting. Check it out. Who are you most similar with?

I did the survey and I'm most similar to Edwards at 81 %. I'm at 80 % with Hillary and 74 % with Obama. I don't know what to think but it's a neat little quiz.
That's pretty cool. I did the survey and I'm most similar to Hillary at 78%, then tied at 75% between Obama and Mike Gravel. Very strange that he's still listed. I thought he dropped out a while ago!
I'm still torn between Hillary and Obama. Like you said, both have pros and cons.
I'm with you on the whole gun thing too. There's no reason for regular citizens to be walking around with guns.
