Presidential Candidates by the Numbers

I haven't been doing Sunday Afternoon Fortune telling because I freaked myself out last time, but I thought it would be fun to run numerology on the candidates.  I did so at this website.

Intrigued?  Read on.

Barack Hussein Obama

(Yes, I middle named him, you kind of have to).

Your Soul Urge - The Song of Your Soul - A Deeper Look Into What Motivates You

Like the number 6 soul urge, your life revolves around giving and receiving love. Your desire, however, includes the whole of humanity and a few races besides. Compassion, passion and forgiveness make up your essence and you are very generous and impressionable. The fine arts call out to you and you may in fact have a master artist living inside of you.

A master artist?  This is new.

Your Personality - The Impression You Make upon the World

Others see you as a unique individual who always does their "own thing". Independent, capable and pioneering, you seem to take control of the situation and make it run effectively. You are very concerned with your image and always seem to dress in a way that gets noticed.

Okay, not bad.  That seems to jive with what we know.  Independent, leader, snappy dresser.  Got it.

Your Expression - Character, Talents and Identity - Your Unique Quality of Consciousness

You have an innate ability to get what you want and what you need for your survival. You are primarily concerned about developing the self and acquiring resources for your own enjoyment. Your independence and courageous determination to succeed makes you a good leader, and your unique approach is sure to open the doors to brave new worlds and fascinating discoveries.

A good leader, okay... not sure about the rest.  Aquiring resources for his own enjoyment doesn't really sound like our guy, but okay.

John Sidney McCain III

(Vowels: OIEAIIII)

Your Soul Urge - The Song of Your Soul - A Deeper Look Into What Motivates You

Your urge is to bring hope, joy and beauty to all you meet. You feel the best when you are in beautiful and comfortable surroundings. You have a creative essence and use your inspiration and imagination to make others happy. You enjoy attention and admiration, and you desire recognition for your talents.

Wha?  Hope, Joy and Beauty? Okay, I'm really losing faith in numerology here.

Your Personality - The Impression You Make upon the World

Others see you as a unique individual who always does their "own thing". Independent, capable and pioneering, you seem to take control of the situation and make it run effectively. You are very concerned with your image and always seem to dress in a way that gets noticed.

Hey... wait a second...

Your Expression - Character, Talents and Identity - Your Unique Quality of Consciousness

You are the builder of the world. With your organized, efficient approach everything gets done right the first time. You emanate security and would sacrifice your own desires for your family and anyone or anything else that you considered a responsibility. You have a relentless eye for value and quality and you have the patience and determination to work for it.

I think this might have been true 10 years ago.  Now? Not a chance.

Okay... I no longer consider her a presidential candidate, but I am sure people will want to know so...

Hillary Diane Rodham

(Vowels: IAYIAEOA)

Your Personality - The Impression You Make upon the World

There seems to be a golden glow of optimism and joy around you wherever you go. You are witty and playful, and your idealistic nature irresistibly draws the little child out of everyone you meet. Ever creative and interesting to talk to, you are never long without people to cluster around your radiance. You enjoy dressing up and are very creative with accessories. You've got a style all your own, even if you don't follow fashion.

Your Expression - Character, Talents and Identity - Your Unique Quality of Consciousness

Family and home life are your main interests. You know how to nurture and accept anyone, therefore, many are drawn to you including those that others call, "strays". You have an eye for anything beautiful and your home is sure to reflect this, no matter what your budget is. You are proud of all your possessions and especially of the talents of your family members. Your generous, creative nature makes you the ideal host or guest at a party.

Uh... yeah.  Nurture.  That's it.

Well, numerology doesn't impress me.  Or at least, this particular numerology site doesn't impress me.  Out of curiousity I ran my own name and it accused me of being conservative.  Numerological bastards.

•  Between this diary and the one

  based on a story in the Globe I would say we  need to have a discussion about standards. And yes, I know, this was done in fun...

•  FYI: I'm pretty sure when a woman

  gets married and changes her name, her numerology changes.  That's because your name IS your identity.  She changed her identity when she got married.  And for John McCain, I'm pretty sure the III's do not count as vowels.  You may want to look them up separately, maybe they add 3 to the entire name, but they are not three extra vowels.
