a) according to dontvote.org I'm not allowed to vote with my 78% score
b) 10/3 O'bama
c) There isn't a candidate who can make me happy anyway. The three McCain agree answers were the ones I felt more strongly about anyway.
d) I would vote for another J Edgar Hoover if his agenda were campaign and government reform, rather than cross dressing.

Dontvote.org is interesting, but I don't think I'll take their advice because:

A: Identifying individuals by faces assumes that you are getting your news from TV or that articles contain pictures. One can know a lot about current events without ever seeing a picture of Pelosi.

B: Identifying the faces of actors should have no whatsoever on voting, except that anyone who identified Martin Sheen as POTUS should automatically be referred to Wolf and her Whitecoats.

C: The idiots who created that site judged me on knowing about celebrities and misspelled Angelina Jolie's name.

Well done you! Even with my acknowledged terrible face recognition (I thought Val Kilmer was Brad Pitt through an entire film) I still didn't click that this was primarily a recognition game. I believe I am far more clued up on international politics than this gave me credit for - and in fact I almost always matched the names to the titles correctly, but no points if you got the face wrong in the first place!
