So here are some political memes! Can I say that none of it surprises me?

You Should Live in a Purple State

Your preferences are 55% Blue, 45% Red You may not be a swing voter, but you feel comfortable around moderate people. You tend to do best in states with a red and blue mix - like Nevada and North Carolina. You are adaptable. You can converse with a church crowd as easily as with grad students.

You Are 56% Democrat

You aren't a full fledged Democrat yet, but it's likely the party that fits you best. You probably consider yourself an independent Democrat. You usually support the party, but you also think for yourself!

Your Political Profile:

Overall: 30% Conservative, 70% Liberal Social Issues: 25% Conservative, 75% Liberal Personal Responsibility: 0% Conservative, 100% Liberal Fiscal Issues: 25% Conservative, 75% Liberal Ethics: 50% Conservative, 50% Liberal Defense and Crime: 50% Conservative, 50% Liberal

You Are a Moderate Mama

You're not overly political, and your views fall more with the American mainstream. In fact, it may be difficult for you to decide who to vote for at times! Your approach to politics is reasoned and well though out.

You Should Vote for Barack Obama

Where you and Barack Obama agree: Education - Health Care - Immigration - The War in Iraq - Taxes Where you and Barack Obama disagree: Abortion - Cuba - Global Warming

Not really. I just pay attention.

I wish these quizzes would let you in on the ones you get wrong!

It was very gratifying to learn that I made slightlytookish and maniac1's days. But what was I supposed to do? How could I pick only 10 out of all of you lovely people? I had to laugh at grey_wonderer's solution! But then I read claudia603's version, and thought "Aha!" I adapted it just a little bit, to fit me--but this is for all of you, who every day, make my day:

1. You are posting, whether it's your grocery list, fannish squeeing about anything you're passionate about, or posting a story or artwork.

2. You come chat with me on my posts, even if just to say hi or add a hug or two.

3. You read any of my stories and leave fb, but especially if years or months later you remember something I've written and mention it or rec it or reminisce about it.

4. You engage me in delightful email dialogues about passionate things and I know that even if we don't always agree, we're passionate about it and learn from each other.

5. You take the time to leave profoundly sweet and/or wise and/or encouraging words of advice when I'm having a rough time.

6. You allow me to cuddle and hug you when you're having a rough time.

7. You link to books, movies, websites that I might not have seen/discovered otherwise.

8. You tolerate my obsession with hobbits and the Shire and LotR--even if you’ve moved on to other interests and other fandoms. And if you haven’t moved on, and you still share that obsession with the One True Fandom, you are beyond priceless!

9. You open my mind to different countries, cultures, places I might never get to go but I can see in your posts and pictures.

10. You're you, you're you, you're you!
