I GUESS I CAN'T ROOT FOR TOM TANCREDO NOW
Via Fark comes a poll to show your presidential preferences in 2008. Here are mine:
(100%) 1: Sen. Barack Obama (D)
(97%) 2: Gov. Bill Richardson (D)
(96%) 3: Sen. Russ Feingold (D)
(89%) 4: Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D)
(84%) 5: Sen. John Kerry (D)
(81%) 6: Ex-Sen. John Edwards (D)
(81%) 7: Gov. Tom Vilsack (D)
(80%) 8: Ex-VP Al Gore (D)
(80%) 9: Sen. Hillary Clinton (D)
(78%) 10: Sen. Christopher Dodd (D)
(77%) 11: Sen. Joseph Biden (D)
(76%) 12: Ex-Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R)
(75%) 13: Gov. Mitt Romney (R)
(73%) 14: Retired Gen. Wesley Clark (D)
(69%) 15: Sen. Evan Bayh (D)
(64%) 16: Gov. George Pataki (R)
(61%) 17: Gov. Mike Huckabee (R)
(57%) 18: Sec. Condoleezza Rice (R)
(55%) 19: Ex-Rep. Newt Gingrich (R)
(54%) 20: Sen. George Allen (R)
(52%) 21: Sen. Chuck Hagel (R)
(51%) 22: Sen. John McCain (R)
(50%) 23: Rep. Tom Tancredo (R)
(39%) 24: Sen. Sam Brownback (R)
Interesting, but -- as usual -- not quite there. For one thing, I haven't quite caught Obama Fever yet. Call me cynical, but the new, exotic, popular kid at school needs to prove himself first. Then we'll see.

My desire to see fresh faces out there (sorry, Gore and Kerry, but your boats have sailed) and my hybrid political philosophy no doubt led to these, uh, interesting results. I mean, Sam Brownback was the only potential candidate who scored less than 50% with me... and I can guarantee you that -- in my heart and mind -- at least 18 of those candidates don't stand a chance of getting my vote.
