So you think you know the candidates...

We spend a lot of time talking about the election, not only here but outside in "the real world." The answers to some of these are surprising and provide some ammo should you need it! Found these quizzes, pretty amusing (especially the McCain one; tried a variation of right and wrong answers to see all the grades i.e. "Cut and Run"):

McCain

Obama

I did way better on McCain the first time (60% and I actually knew two other answers but messed em up) compared to Obama (30% lol)

65% on McCain
40% on Obama

Interesting stuff. Thanks.
Did it seem like Obama's questions were more about his life than his policies, the other way around with McCain? Or about even?

Yeah, maybe about 10%-20% more of Obama's were about his life. What's important in the various campaigns, I guess. They still had some good political debunks/gotchas in Obama's quiz though.

"What's important in the various campaigns, I guess."

Does the knowledge required to answer those questions help you decide which canditate would be better suited as president?

No. Anyone with a pulse knows it's Obama.

Most of these questions are about the candidates' personal lives or family histories, and not about their policies.

I just thought it was funny that I scored better on the guy I don't like. I guess that's really how voters think. A lot of the Obama stuff though, I remembered the issue or the scenario but I didn't remember the name, and you had to pick the person's name from a list. They are written a little differently.

And also many people who don't have one.

Undead 4 Obama pls

(I swear I've heard this setup / joke before in this election cycle.)

Kerry was a "better pile of shit", Obama isn't any sort of excrement in my opinion. If anything maybe a little cave hitbox sized pellet.

(Two more in case you forgot about the Fox News perspective.)
