I scored miserably (50%!) on this kwiz, though some Q's are pretty dumb. [url]http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/quiz/2008/nov/03/uselections2008-quiz[/url]

You scored 16 out of a possible 30 Uh-oh. Do you really know who's running for president? Oh dear.

I got 14 of 30, which I thought was pretty good until they meanly asked me if I even knew who was running for President! Yeah, same as metirish!

You scored 19 out of a possible 30 Uh-oh. Do you really know who's running for president?

I got 17, but does it make you ignorant if you don't recall when McCain had a financial pinch? Then there's the Vanity Fair sort of authority you get from not knowing the content of a book but rather how many weeks it has been on the best seller list.

Yeah a good deal of the questions were silly , not knowing the name of a German restaurant McCain visited in Ohio hardly makes one a loser.

Yikes. I got a 16, too.

You scored 23 out of a possible 30 Good work. You know your stuff (but aren't obsessed by the campaign).

I'm apparently the class clown or maybe class dunce would be more appropriate, I got 12. I'm just not big on politics. I watched the last presidential debate and then spent 2 evenings pouring over the official websites of each candidate comparing their positions topic by topic. None of that information was of much use on the 30 questions posed on the quiz.

Nymr83 Nov 05 2008 04:49 PM

i wouldn't feel bad, most of the questions are either meaningless (what kind of pet did obama promise his kids, what restaueant did mccain visit) or are just guess-work (the amount of romney's money that was his own, the % of a primary that someone had)

Dont feel bad; I guessed at about every one of them except for the Electoral vote one and I wouldn't have known that one before last night

You scored 15 out of a possible 30 Uh-oh. Do you really know who's running for president?
