Match-o-Matic II (See if you agree with statements by McCain or Obama)
ABC has a test at the below link to see whose campaign statements you agree with most, McCain's or Obama's. They don't tell you who made the statements, but a statement made by each candidate on the same topic (economy, immigration, judiciary, etc.) will be side by side.

You just pick which statement you agree with. After selecting all 13, you'll find out which candidate's philosophy you support. No tricks are involved, just carefully read the statements before making your choice.

I picked Obama's statement every time except the first one.

2. It's not as obvious as you might think.
Reminds me of the old saying, 'Watch what they do, not what they say.'

They sounded very similar.

7. I picked two McCain statements.
One on immigration and the one on gay marriage. I don't get why people say gay marriage should be left to the states. Then we have some states where gays can be married or have a civil union and others where they can't...which is basically what we have now. I think gay people should be treated fairly in every state, whether the people in that state want that or not.
