This would make a great voting method for those who don't know
anything about the candidate.

You could go to the machine and choose to either vote for a candidate
or use the auto-voter.

a.

Here's how it registered me given the few questions asked and the
limited responses allowed:


Agreed On Disagreed On
1. John Edwards 7 3
2. Barack Obama 5 5
3. Ron Paul 4 6
4. Hillary Clinton 3 7
5. Mike Huckabee 2 8
5. Mitt Romney 2 8
6. John McCain 1 9
7. Rudy Giuliani 0 10

Given that I find Rudy Giuliani morally repugnant, I'm happy to say that
I don't agree with anything about him.

I'm personally not surprised that Paul would be 3rd after Edwards and
Obama since I'd seen before that I'm aligned with him on issues such as
the Patriot Act.

Of course, I feel spending needs to be increased since many bridges need
to be replaced since unlike many, I'm convinced that another Minneapolis
will occur unless we work on the infrastructure.

Similarly, something must be done about the electrical grid to prevent
another serious blackout.

Unfortunately, people prefer to engage in platitudes and sound bites
since bridges, highways and the electrical grid do not rouse voters like
abortion or immigration.

Too often elections which are decided by minor issues bring to mind the
line from Pogo:
"We have met the enemy, and they is us."
