me:

45% on McCain

40% on Obama


Not bad for somebody who knew a long time ago that he wasn't gonna vote for either one

The Obama one was hard. Got 50% on it. 85% on McCain.

This pair of quizzes was brutally and obviously biased. Most of the questions on the McCain quiz were substantive and focused on policy, while most of the questions on the Obama quiz were blatantly biased against him.

What a crock!

BTW, I scored 80% on the McCain quiz but quit before finishing the Obama one out of disgust.

John McCain You got 65% correct. Fire and fall back

Barack ObamaYou got 40% correct. Score: No, we can’t.

I think I need to do some more studying before the election....

Actually, if you just spend a little more time listening to Rush Limbaugh you'll do just fine next time.

I completely agree...it seemed like only the last three on the Obama quiz were actually on policy.

Ha! I tune him out...he comes on right before Dr.Laura......and she is just as bad...

I dunno if they're biased as much as pointless fluff.

Mc Cain likes

Cap'n Crunch
Chex
Museli
Baby Seals

for breakfast

If I actually knew half of those I'd be a total idiot. I scored 30 percent.
50 percent on McCain.

Who cares what car Obama used to drive or what he wrote an essay on in third grade? Seriously. Am I supposed to know that? Both quizzes, I thought, were equally about stupid, unimportant things.

I got 65% on McCain and 40% Obama.

I think this might also be because McCain talks so much about his past, while Obama, in my opinion, campaigns much more on the present.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

60% on McCain, 50% on Obama.

Have to agree that there seemed to be an obvious bias.

Dr. Laura drives me up a wall when I get caught off guard & catch her on the radio

 

[Homburg]

45% on McCain (with many of the correct answers being guesses and suppositions)

15% on Obama

I'm in the same boat as subbie333, and didn't plan to vote for either, so, honestly, I can't be fussed to investigate either. I can say with some authority, however, that I am much better at wild ass guessing when it comes to McCain.

 

[subbie_333]

The "bias" may be more "sinister" that what it appears. Perhaps the point is that McCain has more experience, has more substantial stuff about him, where with Obama, the jist is that he hasn't done enough in his life to have substantial questions about substantial stuff. In any case, i don't think that the quizzes actually accomplish anything. If so, what?

Test of MSM exposure.

In the meantime, just in case anyone's all over the unfairness of the lead-in article there's an interesting case of McCain's campaign push-polling Jewish voters. McCain was really peeved when Huckabee was push-polling his likely voters in the primaries, so it's an interesting approach in his case. Obama's trying to shut someone up, and McCain is trying to insert words in people's mouths.
