I can't vote for myself. Chris Christie

I'm guessing it was the combination of beer, tacos, and excitement over the White House chef.

This time I selected lobster rolls and Air Force One and damn if I didn't get Christie again. I still selected beer. If they would have had margaritas or some other cocktail besides red bull or straight martinis, but they didn't.

I also was really excited about the WH chef, LOL. That must've did it. I did NOT vote for Bruce, or beer, so not sure why Christie. The WH chef question must be a veto question.

Many will call Warren an underdog if she tries to face off with Hillary, but that's not why you got her. You're smart and tactical, but you also have a very compassionate side. Just like Warren, you're not afraid to go after what you want, and you will work extremely hard to accomplish your goals.

Mon Jul 21, 2014, 05:39 AM
Jul 2014

maybe for the drink i just put soda since i try to avoid alcohol ? anyone know if ryan drinks ?

for workout i put walk between meetings. i would think ryan would put something like running or other extra workouts.

maybe it was lasagna ?

a few other things i picked were Boston and White House chef. neither of which i can see paul ryan picking.

i did it again and got hillary clinton. i think the only things i changed were the first time i put the UN and 2nd time school newspaper. (none of the options actually applied to me). and i changed the food from lasagna to pizza.

When I went back and chose some second options I got Andrew Cuomo. Interesting.

First question-what do you drink-I don't drink any of those.
Second question-I didn't do any of those in school
At that point I stopped giving random answers just to get to the next question.

Plus it has the benefit of being BOTH east and west of the Mississippi.
