The first couple threw me off, but the later ones matched the sterotype Dem and Republican more.

So... you weren't Always Right? :>

The key is body posture and facial expression.

Those who exhibit little to no facial expression are the independents.

Every Republican was either smiling or had a pleasant, calm, amicable visage.

The faces of tension -- those sporting a half-smile or coerced smile belong to the Democrats.

With that said, I still missed one -- the guy who was smiling (near the end of the quiz) but who turned out to be a Democrat.

On the same site I came across the gem of a story, this is the last paragraph of it, it is excellent.

But the liberalism of today is even more bullying and conformist than it was in my youth. And if there is one thing my experience shows, it’s that bullying conformism breeds rebellion in earnest young people, like my daughter and her friends. A new generation is rising, and while they may eschew the conservative label, they will undoubtedly challenge the stridency and dogmatism of their liberal parents and teachers. In the end, for all their alarm over the Republican invasion, the city’s liberals might do better to address the flowering of conservatism closer to home. We are your bastard children, and as long as you deny us, you will continue to spawn rebels who reject you.

Let's run down these folks one-by-one.

1. This one was easy. Face and posture and body language show great confidence. Party = Republican

2. She doesn't look happy. She has a trifle smile, but it doesn't pass as genuine, IMHO. Party = Democratic

3. Like #1, a no-brainer. He's smiling genuinely and doesn't appear to have an ounce of internal hate. Party = Republican

4. A tough one. She's smiling and, based on her dress, looks like the second amendment is very important to her. Therefore, I wasn't sure if she was a Republican or perhaps a Libertarian, i.e. "other." Knew she wasn't a Democrat or Liberal. Party = Libertarian

5. Another no-brainer. Look at this guy. He's a poser. It's all about me-me-me. His body language screams 'I AM A LIBERAL!' Party = Democratic

6. Serious but affable smile. Looks like a no-nonsense kind of guy, but yet someone who would give you the shirt off his back, at the same time. Probably a Conservative Republican. Party = Republican.

7. The relaxed, natural smile and confident posture gave this one away for me. Party = Republican

8. She's dressed conservatively and possesses a radiant smile. Party = Republican

9. She looks confused and appears to have no idea where she stands politically (or anywhere else). Her life is likely a train wreck. Probably can't hold a steady job. Horizontal lips, faint smile perhaps visible, although if visible you have to really look to see it. Party = Independent

10. This one got me! Friendly looking guy all around. I guessed Republican and was dead wrong! Party = Democratic

11. No smile. Gives off an aura that his shit doesn't stink. Obviously a Democrat. Party = Democratic

12. Appears highly-educated and to have his life in order. Neutral facial expression. Looks like a candidate for one of the anxiety disorders, perhaps OCD. This is a tricky one. Party = Republican

Thanks for the link! He mentions Katha Pollitt, a columnist at (that pinko rag) The Nation. Right after 9/11, Katha's teenage daughter wanted to fly an American flag outside their NY home. Katha went nuts! So the rebellion is getting into the homes of the worst of the old hard-line lefties.
