Algorithm Names Powell 'Ideal' Vice President Candidate
CWmike writes "Turns out the ideal vice presidential candidate for Sen. John McCain is the same person as the ideal vice presidential candidate for Sen. Barack Obama, according to a sophisticated online survey based on technology developed at MIT. Mr. Ideal? Colin Powell, a former U.S. Army general and former secretary of state. Affinnova's survey methods doesn't use the typical polling method of asking respondents to pick a name from a list. Instead, it gives respondents larger concepts, including photos, biographical information and possible first-term priorities. Affinnova calls this algorithm 'evolutionary optimization.' Steve Lamoureaux, the company's chief innovation officer, said of the VP finding: 'We never imagined that the same candidate would show up for both parties.'"
1) Do you want a VP who came to power by covering up genocide?
2) Do you want a VP responsible for the slaughter of over a million innocent people?
Those that can manage to crawl out of the rat cage should be able to
continue from there. This actually was the case before universal male
sufferage in the US. Although any more, the old standard isn't much of
a bar anymore (what with the mortgage bubble).
There is a real problem to giving the vote to the rats that aren't bright enough to get themselves out of the cage.
Would-be tyrants have exploited this since there's been voting.
Although the red states demonstrate that this isn't an easy problem. They have plenty of escaped rats that have no sense.
A Pirate and a Puritan look the same on a balance sheet.
The reason that they are not on the perp-walk is because THEY DID NOTHING ILLEGAL; followed by President Bush has a history of keeping Congress informed of everything he is doing so if they arrest him they would have to arrest themselves. This has come up a few times when a Democrat says something never happened and the White House comes back and shows the papers of the people who signed in and there was that Democrat.
As for the reason the Democrat keep "rolling over" is simple, they realize the Republicans are correct and the only correct option is to approve what they brough forth and then they add addition spending for the item. side items and for thier own pork projects.
