Presidential Election
I have still been far too busy to read through the ballot, so my full endorsements will have to wait. I did find this quick quiz courtesy of Fr. Tucker, so I filled it out:
1. Your ideal theoretical candidate. (100%)
2. Bush, President George W. - Republican (84%)
3. Badnarik, Michael - Libertarian (48%)
4. Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat (44%)
5. Peroutka, Michael - Constitution Party (34%)
6. Cobb, David - Green Party (12%)
7. Nader, Ralph - Independent (12%)
8. Brown, Walt - Socialist Party (10%)
I never would have guessed that anyone could score lower than Nadir on my list. I am also a bit surprised that the Libertine, I mean, Libertarian scored higher than the Constitution Party, although I tend to see both groups as kooky manifestations of decadent liberal democracy.
So, with that bit of fun done, it is time for me to get back to work! Full political conversation next week (I am driving a support vehicle for a giant relay race this weekend and will be out of Internet contact).

I'm fascinated by the fact that the Libertarians seem to have become as ideologically wayward as the Dems and the Reps-most of the Libertarians quoted in a recent article I read are going for Kerry. Yeah, Johnny Nuance is the man for smaller government!
