    I'm not an American, but took the quiz anyhow. I come up Obama, probably due to the question re. Iraq, health care, and the judiciary. There ya go.

    Matt Damon's probably pissed because that quiz doesn't include an option where you just vote for the black guy.

    interesting ... but, it was Obama for me ... 100% on Iraq, the economy and healthcare ...

    50-50 on immigration (which, is probably where I lean a little more to the right)

    I also picke McCains quote on the environment ... but when you hear things like "Drill baby Drill" ... I really struggle to trust his views on that.

    Palin is anything but an environmentalist, that is for sure.

    I wish actors and musicians would just shut up. They are more likely to lose fans than gain them when they open their yaps about politics.

    I am pretty cynical about celebrities' public remarks about politics. I agree, they are allowed to have opinions like everyone else ... Just as I am allowed not to take said opinions too seriously.

    I had McCain on everything but the gay marriage. So many of the quotes were really the same, the same should be said for the candidates, and that is why neither have earned my vote.

    On the immigration I didn't agree with any of the quotes, I had to pick which sounded closest to what I think.

    Same here. In a couple of cases I like Obama's answer better but didn't believe it described him.

    I was 50/50 going into the last question. I picked Obama's answer, but as I mentioned above think the answer was all talk. So I guess the match-o-matic chose Obama for me. In reality I'll be voting for neither of them.

    Of course not! This board is far to liberal to do such a thing ... : )

    I came out 99% Obama ...

    Everyone just vote. No matter who ya vote for ... just get in that booth and do what ya think is best. There are some places in this world that don't have such freedom ... how fortunate we all are!

    Geez, Obama looks like he is having too much fun on that teeter totter.

    I was Obama 11/13 questions.

    A few shouldn't count because they were too close for me personally.

    :( I still wish this election wasn't coming up so fast, just yet :(

    9 with McCain ; 4 with Obama

    I agreed with McCain's quotes on Economy, Health, and most Hot Topics

    I agreed with Obama's quotes on Iraq & only 1 hot topic

    I split the Immigration.

    The reality is I disagreed with both quotes on several questions though...Gay Marriage, Immigration...

    Very similar to me, except I had more pro-Obama answers. Flip that 9 and 4, and its pretty much the same.
