    This is a perfect anecdote.

    Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

      I got Hilary, Paul, and some other dude that I can't remember the name of. Maybe I didn't go back and rate my interest level in each of the issues well enough, but either way the % spread from top to bottom of my preferred candidates was pretty narrow. Like 70% Hilary and 50% Santorum on bottom.

      I think that I'll just flip a coin because they are all just filthy politicians after all.

        Hilary's busting out the full court press to try to be perceived as likable. She was on SNL this weekend awkwardly trying to seem laid back.

          Was she able to show off some of her planned spontaneity?

            93 percent with Bernie
            88 percent with Hillary
            Kasich is my highest GOP at 53 percent.
            A whopping 10 percent for Ben Carson.

                He makes watching paint dry seem exciting. I swear he is asleep half the time he's ring interviewed.

                  I was at 90% with John E. Bush.
                  Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                    Hillary was my top one at 93%.

                    Doesn't surprise me because her policies are fine it's her personal attributes (honesty, judgment) that are suspect.

                    Top Republican was Jeb.

                      Kind of surprised I lined up with Bernie so much, so I clicked on the "compare answers" link. It showed 38 issues we agreed on, and 25 we didn't, so not really sure where 83% comes from.
                      It's weighting them based on the importance you gave each issue. That's probably the answer.

                      edit: I meant to include my percentages. This was no surprise to me.

                        Why would anyone want to go to college just to see greatly diminished returns as their reward? I guess they could learn 17th-century French literature appreciation which may help pass the time between collecting welfare checks.

                                I'm working from home since classes were canceled all week due to flooding. We got 7 inches here, but twelve miles from here got close to 20. The kids use this computer and they love poptropica.
