I got Obama. Shocker.

[Reginald McGraw]

Your top candidate match is Rick Perry!
Barack Obama and Mitt Romney were runner-ups.

[Sirharles]

I got Obama too...which tells you how far off the reservation the Republicans have gone.

[monkey!]

I took the test for a laugh:

Your top candidate match is Barack Obama!
Rick Perry and Mitt Romney were runner-ups.

[RottingCorpse]

Shit, the way our election system works your vote will probably be counted.

[monkey!]

My vote will mean no more than that of anybody else.

[Reginald McGraw]

I'm voting for Putin. Along with 100% of the rest of my precinct!

[RottingCorpse]

But are you flashing your tits for him?

I think Romney gives the GOP the best shot to win. It's still no shot (or at least a very long shot), but you want to stay competitive in these things.

I'm actually wondering (concerned/) that this dismal 2012 GOP class is something that will be an issue for the Democrats in 2016. Cass has mentioned before about how presidential politics has become this weird and not very good reality TV show. We laugh at the candidates the GOP are putting out there, but once Obama is gone, do the Dems have anyone better?

\Much of our political problem is cultural, and I'm not sure it's going to get better anytime soon.

Whatever happened to that supposed tit-flashing?

[nacho]

I got Obama, with Ron Paul a close second. Hmmm...

But, yes, I agree with:

I got Obama too...which tells you how far off the reservation the Republicans have gone.

And for this:

Whatever happened to that supposed tit-flashing?

He busied himself forming the Putin Youth. Tits girl is probably in a death camp by now.

[nacho]

And so ends Bachmann.

[Cassander]

So true.  Can't believe I didn't realize it earlier.

Mitt Romney is the storybook presidential candidate. He's successful, good-looking and a family man, to boot. Yet one of this political season's enduring puzzles has been the former governor's consistent inability to bond with voters. It's been suggested that Romney's robotic persona may be to blame -- and perhaps the analogy isn't far off. Much as people are repulsed and disturbed by automatons that mimic humans closely but imperfectly, Romney inexplicably turns voters off despite looking like the textbook image of an American president. Roboticists call this unsettling effect "the uncanny valley" -- and Romney is stuck deep at the bottom of it.

Even though he's not evil, he is The Smiler....

[nacho]

He outright scares me.
