Hey, find out who you REALLY support for Iowa's Governor
http://selectsmart.com/FREE/select.php?client=iowagovernor

Take the quiz, see if you are leaning in the right direction

(I am, according to how I answered the questions - after Culver my #2 was Fallon and #3 was Mohammed)

What were your choices?

1. Mohammed ranked 1st for me

That was a surprise... at least a bit. Culver second, Fallon third, Judge fourth...

Here's where it gets interesting.

Vander Plaats was fifth... Blouin sixth and Nussle brought up the rear. (You know, because he is one.)

2. Fallon
Not really all that surprising to me.

My results:

#1 State Rep. Ed Fallon
#2 Secretary Chet Culver
#3 Mr. Sal Mohammed
#4 Secretary Patty Judge
#5 Fmr. Rep. Mike Blouin
#6 Rep. Jim Nussle
#7 Mr. Bob Vander Platts

Pretty cool little quiz, I sent to my co-workers to see what kind of crazies I'm working with.

4. Mohammed keeps getting support - could he be the spoiler in the race? n/t

5. Only if he had a proxy speak for him...
As many Arab friends that I have, and Asian/Indian friends for that matter..all of whom I grew up with and whose families all have pretty thick accents..I have a terrible time deciphering Mohammed's speeches.

I think he probably has some great ideas, but conveying them is his weakness.

But he has always seemed like a very sincere guy, motivated for all the right reasons. If he could get his message out in another format he may be a spoiler.

9. Sal promised $2,000 in all our pockets if he gets elected Governor
I'm not sure how, but I don't have reason to doubt him :shrug:

Yes, Seth, you are a big winner :eyes:

8. Fallon
1. Fallon
2. Mohameed
3. Culver

Don't remember the rest. The results didn't surprise me at all. I support Fallon and Culver would be my next choice. I never really considered Mohammed.

16. Fallon and Sal
right on with what I have been saying- Deb Culver did come in third and I liked his speech at our county convention saturday. I could vote for him although he avoided the death penalty issue altogether. Blouin is a repbulican still!
