It uses quotes they've said to pick. I saw this on our moms group and had to share it. This is pretty much totally unbiased as I've seen to be able to pick from. I actually picked 3 of Obamas answers. I got McCain well overall, but I like this one. It's better than those you know completely who said them all.

I had gotten this in an email and I was really surprised that all the ones I got were McCain's. Some of the quotes are really close in meaning. This is a great little test to take.

Thanks! I actually agreed with McCain on 3 things. You know I could remember part of those quotes and in my head could hear them saying them (LOL)! Still for Obama.

I ended up with 2 McCain and 11 Obama. However, I've know all along that I tend to support more of Obamas viewpoints. I originally made my decision on who to support based upon a voter sheet of where they each stand of the issues (I don't vote by party as I consider myself an independent and I am registered as such also). I just cannot agree with the majority of McCain's stances, though that may have been different if the McCain of 2000 were the one running. I liked him a lot then, he's changed way too much though.

I was split - no shocker there... I tend to be either very liberal on points or very conservative with no middle ground. Overall, Obama matched my views mostly, and that's who I'm voting for, but it was fairly interesting to see that I actually sided with McCain about 30% of the time.

I did the Match-o-matic sometime last week. I ended up with 2 or 3 McCain and the rest were Obama.

My match was Obama...there's a shocker! LOL

I did this a few days ago, and not surprisingly, my results were pretty much right down the middle. IIRC, there is an odd # of questions, so I had one more for McCain than I did for Obama.

I'm probably going to vote for Bob Barr; neither of the other candidates really represents my feelings about the issues.

Oh that was fun--- especially seeing the one I'm not voting for booted OFF the seesaw!

I also love the little comments at the bottom......hee hee

THanks for sharing!

I am all for Obama! As far as the quiz, I was mostly on the Obama side. The only 2 in McCain's column were Gay Marriage (with I disagree with both of them on), and immigration (which they have very similar stances on).

tfs!

FUN! I had one pick with McCain--one of the immigration issues that was very similar. Is there one for vice-presidents?

just goes to show that I'm still totally on the fence...I don't particularly like either candidate. I got 7 McCain and 6 Obama. Until this election I was a fierce democrat, now I just don't know.
