What was on the quiz that isn't something Obama said or isn't something on his record? Perhaps it isn't the poll that is slanted.

SLANTED once, like when I was 18 and could finally vote. I voted straight along Republican lines...UNTIL I noticed they were going WAY to the RIGHT for my taste.

The older I became, the more UNSLANTED my views became. Seems every election I became less straight down the line on the party-front and more focused on WHO can do the job the best, not "Oh, so-and-so is a member of this party - I must obey and vote for this party".

I would estimate I vote 60% (Democrat)-40% (Republican) at this time on election day. Oklahoma Democrats are "moderate" (Which I consider myself, a moderate INDEPENDENT) and I relate to that - and most Republicans in Oklahoma are ALSO "moderate" - they usually receive my vote. If a politician in this state are on the far-left or far-right they DONT get my vote because generally they seem pre-occupied with showing the public their PERSONAL views INSTEAD of showing HOW they would EFFECTIVELY do the J-O-B!
