Running is a big question mark that’s there each and every day. It asks you, ‘Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?' - Peter Maher, Irish-Canadian Olympian

Who's your candidate?

Found this on a running forum and thought it was fun:

Turns out I am 100% Kucinich. That surprised me. Not that his name came up but the 100% part of it.

The ensuing discussion on the running forum dealt with people being surprised with who they matched with and the whole issue of do you vote for who you think will have a chance to win or do you vote for you support?

I had a discussion many years ago with a former boss who told me I 'threw away' and 'wasted' my vote by casting it for Nader. I asked him why and he replied because Nader had no chance to win. Sorry boss. I vote for who I think is best and I don't consider it 'throwing away' my vote. This is really ringing true to me this election cycle where it seems the press is already shoving a couple annoited candidates down our throat. I mean, for crying out loud, if it wasn't for Bill Maher, poor Ron Paul wouldn't get a lick of press. I thought we chose, not the press.
