Only one I picked that Obama said and I agreed with, was that marriage should be left to the states; besides that, all McCain.

Zoiks...

I agreed with Senator Obama on two points--universal health care and immigration.

What a revolting development this is.

I sided with McCain as well. It was hard to pick from a "first look" perspective because I could hear Obama saying "When I become President, I will.." and so on. Like Rush Limbaugh has said before, Obama is more focused on "I" while McCain's statements tend to start with "we". "I" tend to agree with him.

I think this was a good test for me. I never listen to their speeches so I dont really know the quotes. I got McCain on all but 3, didnt check which ones.

I got three for Obama as well. This quiz makes the big assumption that the candidate in question will be able to accomplish the goals in their quotes. Bottom line is Obama shouldn't be trusted with a pen flare.

Who do you agree with?

I got two for Obama.

Green House gas and the last one.

The last one is a Red Herring. I agree with Obama about what the President should bring into the office - I just disagree with who he thinks has what it takes.

I had a difference of opinion on the Immigration question but the rest was McCain across the board.

Agreed, however how does it apply to this thread concerning one's political opinion?
