The purpose of this survey is to examine how people think and feel about the political issues, parties, and candidates in the upcoming election. In the survey, you will be asked a series of questions about two political candidates, John McCain and Hillary Clinton. We are very interested in how individuals that find information on the web think about politics, and your participation would be greatly appreciated. In total, the survey should take about 15 minutes to complete. The survey is completely anonymous and you can skip any questions you do not wish to answer.

Hillary to Mount Commander in Chief Campaign
February 20th, 2008
It seems Hillary Clinton is getting desperate to get a win someplace and soon. Now she plans to mount a Commander in Chief Offensive, claiming she is better than Obama or McCain in leading our armed forces.
While Obama is an empty suit with a golden tongue, he has no experience other than the time he spent in the Illinois legislature and the time he’s spent in the US Senate, minus the time he’s been absent due to campaigning for the presidency.
Putting him in as president would be like putting my husband in as president. At least he’s older and hopefully wiser.
Oh, and I’ve been proud of my country my entire life and not just now.
Would you be comfortable with either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton being our Commander in Chief? It’s beginning to look as though it won’t be Hillary, so do you think Barack has what it takes to run a country? Chew on that for awhile and see how it tastes.
