The little convention that could

Once upon a time there was a small convention held in a hotel in San Diego. And then it grew and grew…

…and this week coverage of the San Diego Con is on the front page of “Variety,” for God’s sake. “Variety.” The front page where, y’know, they cover the Oscars and stuff like that.

Geez. Some “geekfest,” huh?

“Who’s your candidate” poll on AOL

So just to be open minded, AOL was offering this quiz that you can take to see which candidate you line up with for the presidency. So I answered the questions.

Turns out apparently my man is Dennis Kucinich, who matched 85% of my search criteria. So that falls into the “Oh well” category. Next was Kerry with 77%. Interestingly–or maybe unsurprisingly–Bush matched up with exactly 9% of my search criteria. Which may prompt some cynics to say, “That much, huh?” and that’s a fair point. I almost wonder where we DO overlap.

Nader didn’t factor into the quiz because they hadn’t included third party or independent candidates. Would’ve been interesting to see if, ideologically, Nader scored the highest.
