More for entertainment than actually learning about the issues, ABC News’ Match-O-Matic 2 is an online decision support system for political weekend warriors.
It asks two-choice questions that cover the economy, taxes, the war in Iraq, health care, illegal immigration, abortion, gay marriage, global warming, and other president-related issues.
At the end of about a dozen or so questions, an animated scene shows which presidential candidate your answers are most in line with - Obama or McCain.
