Vote Prediction for tree_and_leaf

John Kerry

Username: 2004 Presidential Election Vote Predictor by Hutta.

Though given that my last couple of un-flocked entries consisted of a moan about word, me fangirling S. Dominic, a moan about the Oxford cataloguing system and cassockwearing! HP fic, I'm not sure it's any more than random. I mean, what about that screams 'Democrat'?

Er... because Kerry's a Catholic, and so was Dominic?

ETA: out of curiosity, I briefly un-flocked my last flocked post (which involved regretting being done out of white port in a not unconservative location) Still voting for Kerry, apparently.

Oh, it's worse than that.

Sodding thing actually believed that I shd have voted for that appalling, Wet whinger.

There is something shockingly wrong in that Al Gore rithm it uses.

I shouldn't combine reading LJ with drinking tea, apparently - that is a truely awful pun.

I suspect the algorithm has difficulty believing anyone who can construct complex sentences would willingly vote for Dubya (would you have? Just curious). I did try it out with some Americans who I know voted Bush, and that's what the thing predicted.

So I don't know: perhaps it thinks British=equals close to France=practically a cheese-eating-surrender-monkey=must vote Kerry because at least he's not Bush?

Of course, the bold might suggest that you prefer Bush to Kerry, because he's not Kerry... :)

Alternately, it might mean...

... I'm incapable of properly closing an HTML tag.

Both Wets, really, and neither one at all conservative enough for me, but of the two, I suppose, I'd take Bush, faute de mieux.

Well, yes, there is that...

Funnily enough, you've just about echoed my feelings about Kerry :)

But after living with a household of Americans for a year, i've resigned myself to never quite understanding how US politics work.

All of the Catholics I know voted for Kerry, so it doesn't seem that far off. It's why New England is overwhelming blue. It's more the Protestants that vote conservative Republican.

I wonder if they even had Nader as an option? I got Kerry but voted for Nader in RL. (Far Left, to the socialist side.)

No, it was just Bush'n'Kerry.

I'm not an enormous Kerry fan, but I'd take him over Bush any day.
