I think it needs work, to be frank. The questionnaire is also something of problematic. In many cases it presents what I view as two evils, in which case I would not vote for either. Without a sufficient understanding of the principles underlying the design of these sorts of "tests" it is impossible to really know what the basic intentions are - what is the questionnaire attempting to reveal in the most specific terms. I would also point out that many of the choices are posed with insufficient context at best. While I realize they are attempting to box potential candidates in, an admirable pursuit, the method seems a bit ham-fisted to me.Freedom Is Obvioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04813627848157670961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4532988853130799753.post-2278501167797133722011-11-14T20:17:34.148-08:002011-11-14T20:17:34.148-08:00What about GOOOH.COM ?

Cox said the group has collected about $400,000 from members since 2007.<br /><br />According to the Federal Election Commission, GOOOH had about $88,000 on hand as of Sept. 30.<br /><br />Although GOOOH is not affiliated with any other group, it does have the backing of at least one tea party group, the Tax Day Tea Party.<br /><br />Torin Archbold, an activist and member of Austin Tea Party Patriots, said he hadn't heard about GOOOH until a reporter asked about it Friday.<br /><br />But after taking time to review GOOOH.com, Archbold said he appreciated the group's drive to elect qualified people outside of the party system.<br /><br />"I can totally respect that," he said.
