Jon Stewart, but the scores were ALL abysmal. Todd, there is no hope!

I hope tonight that Kerry breaks protocol and strolls over and slaps Bush's face and call's him a draft dodging liar who dared to try and smear his (Kerry's) ACTUAL combat record! Then he should hand him a pretzel.

Agreed, perhaps a pop quiz should be administered prior to allowing folks to vote...

(I'm half serious on that)

People are getting less than 3 out of 6 right? Are you kidding me?
Guess not ... Poll: Americans Uninformed on Bush, Kerry

More than half of those polled by the National Annenberg Election Survey didn't know President Bush (news - web sites) alone favors allowing private investments of some Social Security (news - web sites) money. Nearly as many didn't know that only Democratic candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) proposes getting rid of tax breaks for the overseas profits of U.S. companies.

Well people say they want the candidates to talk about issues but damn if many voters are totally uninformed about the issues even after months and months of the candidates. If you want to know about where the candidates stand on the issues, go to the candidates website or even yahoo has an election section with the candidate's position. sheesh. I wouldn't be surprised if they ever did a "locate the country of Iraq on this world map," if less than 30% of the people could do it.

You got 6 out of 6 correct on your first attempt.

Excellent work! But when do you sleep?

Check your score against these averages:
? "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart viewers - 3.59 correct
? "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno viewers - 2.95 correct
? "Late Show" with David Letterman viewers - 2.91 correct
? No late-night comedy viewing - 2.62 correct

The other half should be seriously considering it as well :) No excuss for not knowing those answers, though I did have to think for 3 seconds on the $200,000 question.

well considering Ive nver seen Leno or Letterman do more than a one liner regarding politics, The Daily show is practically dedicated to it full time, I cant remember the last time I saw them do a bit on something NOT political.

Trying to draw the conclusion that The daily show is some how "more accurate" than other shows is like saying people who watch "The Best Damn Sports Show" have a better idea of how good the Colts offense is than those who watch CNN headline news, when, oh the irony, CNN Headline News is supposed to be a reputable news network! like, WTF, right?
