Barack Obama, working-class hero?

On a bus tour through Pennsylvania, Obama tries to impress blue-collar white voters. He'll need them to keep the state close in April -- or to win it in November.

    neat test!

    I loved it. I am now a confirmed left leaning libertarian...

    Its pretty damned accurate!

    -2.62 Economic Left/Right

    -4.26 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian

    (maybe it was my answers about the marijuana thingie...) LOL

    I wish we had a dinky government whose only real job it was, was to guarantee cradle to grave health care, eduction through university bachelors level and a strong national defense.

    But i think we're too far removed from it - it will never happen. And i'm not sure people can be trusted all the time to do what's right when GREED gets in the way. So i'm on the DEM wagon - hoping for health care reform and maybe even some educational changes. Something we'll never see from the Republicans.
