Today's Iowa Caucuses caused me to be interested in the American election for the first time, and I thought I'd see what Democratic candidates are saying. I saw no point in finding out much about the Republicans (though I suppose anything would be an improvement over the current President). Looking at the 3 main contenders (Clinton, Obama, Edwards), I was unable to find much substantive difference on the issues most important to me. My research then led me to a blog which included a question and answer page to assist in picking a candidate. It asks a serious of questions and asks the user to weigh the importance of the issues they ask about. I took the quiz and found that Dennis Kucinich matched my own views almost perfectly - far better than any other candidate. It is great to see that there is a real left-wing in America after all. |

The people in the middle (like McCain and Clinton) better indicate what the average person thinks.

Not that he was going to win in any event, but Dennis Kucinich leaving the race on Friday is a shame. His voice was important.
