Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
In case you’re still not sure who to vote for in the Presidential Primary, USA Today has an interesting online tool that may help you decide. The “Candidate Match Game” asks a few questions, then gives you a list of presidential hopefuls that match your views.
Unfortunately, if you’re like me, the calculator will tell you that you should cast a ballot for some guy named Mike Gravel. His campaign slogan, according to his website, is “Let the People Decide.” Um, okay. I kinda thought that’s what this whole election thing was about. People. Deciding. Stuff.
Back to Gravel. Other interesting tidbits: as a U.S. Senator from Alaska, he got the Pentagon Papers published in 1972, married “Miss Fur Rendezvous” and in 2007, declared that he had “zero net worth” as he started his presidential campaign. Sounds like I’ve picked a winner. — Tamara Lush
