Applied Epistemology

I was chatting with Jerome about the 2008 presidential candidates a few weeks ago, and I complained about Obama's shameless appeals to religious sentiments. He responded that he just wanted someone competent, someone politically savvy -- say, a Chris Dodd. I agreed and offered Joe Biden.

Well, today I took the Washington Post's "choose your candidate" quiz. Although it's a chore to wade through the responses, my computerized dating match results were as I suspected:

Biden 40
Dodd 23
Edwards 19
Richardson 12
Clinton 10
Obama 3

I fear, however, that the Iowa and NH electorates may invert my preferences.
