Pop quiz #3: The candidates' positions
April 1, 2008
In this, our third pop quiz, we're testing your ability to discern differences between the three presidential candidates -- John McCain, Hilliary Clinton and Barack Obama -- based on issues important to restaurant operators. The following statements were taken directly from the candidate's Web site. Simply click on the White House hopeful you think best represents that position. Right answers take you to that candidate's Web site. Wrong ones: Meet a candidate you haven't heard from in awhile. Good luck!
