About.com has so many very old pages and dead links that I was surprised to find they they really do publish new stuff. I found a political quiz that may humble you. You think you know a lot about John McCain and Barack Obama? Try the ten questions at How Well Do You Know the Candidates?
I didn't do so well.
Your score is 50%. Your knowledge is average. Rejoice. You are better informed than 99% of the population and 150% of the swing voters.
Really? Do tell.

I did fair I guess:
Your score is 80%. You have an impressive command of political trivia and minutiae. Your crack-like addiction to political blogs, late-night comedy shows, and cable news has finally amounted to something. Congrats.
Miss Cellania will you go out with me?
I have a degree, a decent body and good hygiene.
I can cook??
That's very sweet of you to ask, Chad. Tell me, where you want to take me out? Do they offer senior citizen discounts?
You answered 10 items out of 10 correctly.
Your score is 100%. You are a true political genius. Barack Obama would like to name you his Secretary of Hope and John McCain wants to make you ambassador to Pan-Iraqistan.
Wow, I was guessing all but one
5/10....I rocked in the beginning, and tanked in the end....pretty much like George Bush's Presidency.
8/10. I was just glad I got the McCain C-word question right. That story kills me.
I got 8 out of 10, but honestly, the questions were more media-blurb awareness and not really very substantive.
I got 5 out of 10. Some stuff was really too ridiculous to believe. And to think - I've got to make a choice on which will be my leader in a few short months.
6 out of 10. Feh.
I'm still waiting for another candidate to emerge. I don't recall ever being so disappointed in the candidates presented for election. Both of them bore me and scare the hell outta me at the same time.
Perhaps the loyal YBNBY followers should choose a representative and organize a massive, write-in candidate campaign. Or how about just selecting a talking head, then we could collectively yield power from behind the throne?
