ABC's Match-O-Matic
A republican relative sent this to me as a way to try and prove that I didn't really know what Obama stance was on the issues and in a "blind taste test" I would most likely choose McCain. Well I don't need a silly test to tell me who is the right man for the job, but I thought what the hell, i'm bored..why not.

My results...

13 out of 13 correct answers for Obama.
I quickly replied back to the email saying "told ya so..."

Part of me thought it was an ABC trick to try and find quotes that represent one candidate but was said by the other, but others were obvious if you've been watching as many stump speeches as I have. Either way, i just said "screw it" I'll answer honestly to what I would want and see what happens and I was pleasantly unsurprised with my results.

Give it a try and post what your results were.
Did you end up leaning more right then you thought or are you a true blue lefty?

(also sorry if this was posted a while ago, I'm not sure, it's the first time I've seen it)

1. came out with 11 out of 13
that matched Obama. Some of the quotes seemed to be pretty close and sometimes some really obscure.

3. Only missed one
And that's because I didn't read it properly.
