Dodd is a senator from Connecticut. Very reasonable positions, and he recently did the filibuster which prevented Congress from passing the retroactive telco amnesty. Despite all that, he dropped out of the race after Iowa.

Mike Gravel is a Democratic senator from Alaska. (I know his name only he was mentioned at Making Light a few weeks ago.)

According to the Wikipedia article for Mr. Gravel, he did not participate in the Iowa caucus but is still in the race.

A minor correction - he is a former senator from Alaska (voted out of office in 1980). Both of the current Alaska senators are Republican, and both are also having scandal problems.

To my knowledge, Mike Gravel is not tainted by any of the Alaska scandals, but a lot of that should probably be credited to the fact that he's been out of office for 27 years, and he's not considered a serious candidate, so no one's gone really digging in his past.

I got similar results... my problem is that, rather than all of them looking good, none of them matches me on more points than any other, and all of them fall down in some respect. I'm choosing between six or seven B-listers, and haven't seen an A-lister yet. And that's just based on issues, not my perception of their competence, etc.

Ah, well, that's the way it always goes, I guess.

Gee! When I took the test it said that I should vote Edwards with Obama in second place.

I'm surprised that Ron Paul's even on this list & that Kucinich scored so low for me.

And John, you really should check out the news more often :P
