WQAD says I'm with Fred

Says it right here, and it says my preferences are perfectly opposed to those of Mrs Clinton & Chicago's Senator Obama - they don't even show up on the list.

42 Fred Thompson
41 John McCain
41 Duncan Hunter
39 Ron Paul
38 Mike Huckabee
26 Mitt Romney
23 Rudy Giuliani

I'd happily vote for Thompson or McCain; I'd hold my nose and vote for Huckabee, Romney or Giuliani, and I'd vote for a Democrat before I'd vote for Ron Paul.

To digress a bit, I once voted for a big-time Democrat - Paul Simon for US Senator in my first election (I blame my youth and stupidity - I apparently swallowed the local Democrat propaganda that passed for news). I've also voted for a couple of Democrats here in Small Town, IL - the previous owner of our house for township commissioner and our realtor for township assessor or somesuch. To digress from a digression, the latter guy is an 80-something-year-old WW2 veteran and fellow parishioner with more energy than most teenagers.
