Slate: Whack a Pol
This works best if you have a high speed connection.

It is a game for the presidential primary.

1. Kucinich
And I am not suprised.


But now, for the usual comment / ongoing flamewar that usually comes from my next comment:

I am sorry, but I just don't think enough of the stupid moderates would vote for him. I would love to see him nominated, but just think that the media would tear him to pieces.

4. Bad Game
I tried it. The questions are "loaded" and the candidates' positions are over-simplified way past distortion, which means it's worthless even as amusement.

5. It makes a very good point
no candidate is perfect. If I answer every question, I'm left with no candidates.

Even if someone agreed with a candidate on every one of those issues, there would be other issues on which they wouldn't agree.
