Would you let a website recommend who you should vote for?
ABC has a test at the link below to see who's campaign statements, McCain's or Obama's, you agree with most. They don't tell you who made the statements, of course, but a statement made by each candidate on the same topic (economy, immigration, judiciary, etc.) will be side by side.
You just pick which statement you agree with and, after selecting all 13, you'll find out which candidate's philosophy you support.

Of course I wouldn't allow a website to recommend a candidate for whom to vote but I think that in this case, if the quotes are accurate, it's not a bad way to go as a tool. I for one cannot remember everything either ever said about a subject or issue and this is a great reminder. By the way, I came out with 11 for Obama and only 2 for McCain! I await the debates... Side: Good tool if accurate

As Ronald Reagan used to say, "Well...," I have no idea what balleens are but now I'm forced to chose what's more important, Terrorist (without the 's' at the end so that Jessald has an embulism) or my home and 401K plan. So far my home and 401K plan hits closer to home to I'm gonna have to vote for (dare I type it?) Obama (OMG, I didn't spontaneously combust! Cool! ;). Side: i can think for myself thanks
I think for someone who hasn't followed the election closely this might be a good tool to get a starting idea of who they should look more closely into. Since I've pretty much already decided on who I'm going to vote for the site didn't help much, but it did come up with the result I expected. So for the most part I'd say I wouldn't vote for the person the site told me to, but it does seem to indicate whose views you agree with more. Side: i can think for myself thanks
NO! Could you imagine Anon getting their hands on the site "for the lulz"? We would always elect over 9000 penises to run the country for at least over 100 years! The internet is not secure, and no matter how you look at it, if you can access the site at all, it is not secure enough to elect a president with. Side: NO WAI
