ABC has a quiz to help you find the candidate whose opinions match yours.

Cheers! Good fun.
If anything I was surprised to find I had three McCain answers!

Shocking to read both the candidates are against gay marriage. Still, that's what happens when you have candidates with closed minds because of their religion I suppose.

Well that made my decision much easier.

BrianR · 10-02-2008, 01:18 PM

Gee, I had ALL McCain except one on immigration. Does this make me a bad person?

Pie · 10-02-2008, 02:27 PM

Uh, yeah.

(I keeeed, I keeeeeed!)

Undertoad · 10-02-2008, 03:33 PM

7-6 McCain

Bullitt · 10-02-2008, 03:52 PM

8 McCain, 5 Obama.
I aligned with Obama on immigration, and split between the two on the economy and Iraq. McCain took health care and "hot topics" except for "Command in Chief" question at the end.

BigV · 10-02-2008, 04:22 PM

9-4
Obama

7-6 McCain.

However many of those McCain quotes are contrary to opinions of Sarah Palin and the people who put her on the ticket. George Jr also said he was a compassionate conservative. We failed to look that the political agenda and people he also was representing.

The McCain that was hated by most of the Republican party was a more palatable choice and more representative of those ABC News quotes.

cute toy, but no basis for picking a candidate. voting by soundbite ... you get what you pay for. No thinks, no thanks

Griff · 10-02-2008, 04:54 PM

9-4 Obama but I hate each a little more now.

SamIam · 10-02-2008, 05:28 PM

11 - 2 Obama But I agree that picking a candidate by sound bite is not really an optimal method.

What else have they given us to go by, but sound bites.

One of mine was McCain, the rest Obama. And that's cause actually I agreed with neither on the immigration one. McCain wants them to leave or follow a path to legal status...but, is that a choice they're offered or is it a choice made for them? Obama says it is wrong to deport all those people...but then he suggests punitive fines and forcing them to the back of the queue for legal status, thereby rendering them economically vulnerable for much longer...

In the end, I eeny meeny miny moed McCain's quote.
