What do John McCain and Barack Obama's political matrix scores look like?

[Ronnie]

I'd say:

McCain:

Economic: 3.90
Social: 4.95

Obama:

Economic: -6.50
Social: -4.50

I took the test as Obama would and got this:

Economic score: -4.13
Social score: -1.57

I don't really know all his positions on everything though (especially social positions), so take that with a grain of salt.

I got this for McCain:

Economic score: +5.94
Social score: +4.35

Social score: +4.35

Obama has a MUCH lower social score than that.  Anyone who says "I don't want a mother punished with a baby" deserves at LEAST a -5.00 score.  Not saying that's the main social issue, but he is far from socially moderate.

Well, that's just the abortion issue. But on a whole host of other social issues, he takes the socially conservative position (drugs, assisted suicide, gay marriage, prostitution).

Oh...well I stand corrected.
