As demonstrated over the course of her appearances, Liz seems to have liberal political opinions. For instance, she stated that she believes "gay dudes should be allowed to adopt kids and we should all have hybrid cars". She is frequently portrayed as supporting Barack Obama. However, she said that there was an "eighty percent chance" that she would end up secretly voting for John McCain in the 2008 election, possibly a reference to Fey's friendship with former "SNL" host McCain, as well as her impersonation of Sarah Palin.
