By dutifully following the links on Daily Kos, I came upon a website that purports to "connect you to the presidential candidate that represents your beliefs the best."
I would have taken Obama, but I suspected I'd come up with Hillary. Wrong on both counts.
Kucinich. I got Kucinich. Not only did I get Kucinich, but I was about a 94% match. By my estimation, I'm a better political match with Dennis Kucinich than I am a personality match with my fiance. Fortunately, Dennis and I are only a .02% love match.
I should have seen it coming when I spent a quarter of my points on health care. Hillary, Obama, and Edwards have put together proposals for universal coverage, but the systems they envision will probably do more for the insurance companies than for American citizens. That might be an exaggeration, but these plans will likely need to be reworked in 10-15 years to look a lot like what Kucinich is putting on the table today, which is single-payer, "socialist" health care.
But that is a story for another day. Today, I'll just dream of a magical world where tiny people can be leaders, not just dreamers faced with an impossible task.
Actually, that sounds a lot like Middle Earth.
