Am I Really That Liberal?
Jeff Jarvis was getting slammed a week ago for saying he was a liberal when a lot of people who read his blog thought otherwise.
Well I think I've got a different problem, at least according to an AOL/Time Inc service on the web called President Match.
I think I'm a centrist Democrat who sometimes talks like a Republican. But it seems that self perception isn't reality.
My daughter told me about this President Match thing that said she should vote for Dennis Kucinich.
So I figured that I ought to see who AOL and Time think I should vote for.
I went through the whole thing and it asked a bunch of good questions which I dutifully answered.
And the results are in. I should vote for Kucinich too. After that, Al Sharpton should be my next choice.
And I thought I was a Clark man. He's #4 on my list, after John Kerry.
Go figure.
After the now infamous "AAAARRRRGGGHHH!" by Dean that has the entire world questioning his sanity, I would like to now concede that Clark has the best chance against Bush. But, after watching the State of the Union, I don't think Clark (or anyone else) has enough to unseat this president.

I took the prezmatch test and I too came out w/kucinich as my top choice. but he was tied w/kerry for that position.
personally, i have always liked kerry's policy views but questioned his electability. however, he is looking more and more electable. my prediction: it becomes a kerry vs clark race w/edwards as the veep. tonight's debate will be a real test for clark. if he flubs it, i think kerry's momentum will continue to build.
i think dean is in a death spiral. people think he is nuts w/his steve ballmer-esque speech delivery

Yeah Fred - mine came up Sharpton and Kucinich. But I'm backing Kerry - I want to win, and I want to win with someone intelligent.
