Duncan Hunter Makes the Grade!
This is a pretty cool political experiment that took place in Iowa.
We took six undecided voters all from different cities – two Democrats, two Republicans and two Independents and gave them the power of the pen to grade the candidates running for President. In all, eleven candidates sent their responses to us on time.
We asked them one question. It’s a question that has been on the minds of many Americans: “What do you think will happen when U.S. troops are withdrawn from Iraq, and what is your strategy to deal with what happens afterward?”
Our six-person panel then graded each candidate’s response. Take a look below to see who made the grade and who’s headed to summer school.(LINK)
The participants were blind as to which candidate had written the responses. Name value meant nothing, only the words written. Cool huh! My man Duncan Hunter received the highest grade. This is cool because it was a blind test. Duncan scored high across party lines. The article has the complete scoring and the candidates responses here. Cool video also!
