I watch and read quite a bit of the political coverage so I couldn't go through the selections without being biased. I was able to choose all Obama and all MCcain quotes. I tried to be honest on a third pass and I was about even, leaning slightly towards Obama.

I had one for Obama on immigration.
This wasn't that great a "test" to determine where you stand.
Some of the quotes were barely discernible, despite the fact that the actual polices advocated to carry out their goals are generally speaking, significantly different.
I will admit, I simply cannot comprehend a vote for Obama. It genuinely puzzles me.

I could lay out why a vote for Obama will yield the best long term results but I would probably get banned.

From looking at your profile I'd say you're about 21 something, and yes, I really don't want to hear your view on politics, especially concerning a senator that's been in office less than half a year.
I'm also sure you understand the reason why a dimocrat dominated house and senate can get nothing done or why the current congress has the lowest rating in American history.
Spare me your theories. 
BTW, I'm real sick of giving non-working people handouts and I don't care what color their skin is.....

I'll lay out such a conditional case.
In the event that b-ho comes to power, and there wasn't irreparable damage done during his tenure;
the resultant train wreck would motivate voters to keep the dims out of the oval office for some time.
It would be kinda like jimmy carter followed by the 80's.
IMO, such a path to "best long-term results" isn't worth the risk.

I was with McCain on everything except carbon emissions and abortion, which was pretty much what I expected.

100% agreement.
I'm embarrassed to say that I got only 6 for McCain. Perhaps that's because I don't listen to much of the political posturing.
I wonder what those who want government subsidized (hence controlled) health care will say when rationing starts? And it will start; to get a vision of where that path leads, simply seek a general care doctor who accepts new Medicare patients.

I ended up with 2 in the Obama column and the rest in Mccain's.....

Laughed at and pitied, more likely. Out of morbid curiosity, what possible good could Obama bring to my country?

Well Ill tell you what, if you want to give it a go, Ill hear you out...just as long as we stick to a couple ground rules...
There is such a thing as right and wrong, the law of non contradiction does apply, the English language cannot be rewritten to mean what ever you want.
Agree to those terms and Ill be happy to debate the issue...what say you.
We can go topic by topic. Or if you feel more comfortable, send me a private message.

All with McCain, except #7 on border security - which I believe is one of McCain's "blind spots"
