John H,

Regarding the other thread, I found a website where you can do a test to see
where you lean politically. I scored a 25 - exactly the same as George H.W.
Bush. Here's the politicians and their scores to measure by:

Jesse Jackson = 0
Ted Kennedy = 5
Hillary Clinton = 10
Bill Clinton = 15
Colin Powell = 20
George Bush = 25
Jack Kemp = 30
Bob Dole = 35
Ronald Reagan = 40

Interesting website. I wonder where the majority of people score?

A 21 for me. This test must be more right biased than the last one.

On the 'Poco Loco' out of Deale, MD
on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay!

Well, of course. If John doesn't believe the results, it's biased!!!!

34 for me.

By the way, 101 days to what?

I must apologize to you Mr. Kevin Noble, I read the post incorrectly and
thought *you* had stated you scored a 21.

By the way, what was your score?
I'm betting a 0 to maybe a 5

I got a 25, too, Butch.

That's cool Doc. You think like I do, or I think like you do. Or, we both
think along the lines of George H.W. Bush.

I was kinda mad. I never knew I was so liberal. ;-)

This thing scores like golf, right?
The lower the number the better?

According to the scoring system, I'm more conservative than Jesse Jackson *and*
more conservative than Ted Kennedy. So who's an "extremist"? :-)
