This is a great way in helping you decide who YOU want in office! It's a survey, it doesn't give you any idea of who said what. You click on the answer to the question that is being asked. In the end it will tell you who you are leaning towards!

So by switching the order of the questions from left to right ABC hoped to prove that people were liberal. This survey has been proved biased and worthless by more than one research group.

As a game, as entertainment, this was fun. Serious? No. But fun.

There were no surprises for me - I agreed with McCain's statements on immigration, and all on other issues, I agreed with Obama's statements.

But I certainly wouldn't use this survey to help me decide which candidate to vote for.

For god's sake it isn't a survey, its a game!

The problem is that if you are a half-way, decently informed voter, you know pretty much who said what, but if you are as informed as Sarah Palin you might find out who you really agree with.

Despite being familiar with Obama and McCain's syntax and usage of buzz words, I still found myself siding with McCain on a number of issues, not near enough to swing the results to Obama, but enough to know that I am thinking critically about the election.
