A Guidline to Your Vote

If taking a survey is not your style to figure out what political candidate you like, I found a website that displays a chart of all the 2008 Presidential nominees' political outlook. This site is called 2008 Presidential Election Candidates on the Issues. With this site you can quickly and easily look at a table that tells you what major issues Presidential candidates support or oppose.

I like this site because all of the candidates' views are listed right next to each other and it is easy to compare and contrast each candidate and learn a little more about the lesser known nominees.

The only set back to this site is that in some cases there is more than a simple yes or no answer about an issue. The site highlights this issue and encourages viewers to go directly to a candidate's website if there is any missing information or uncertainty.

"But Who Do I Agree With?"

This many be a question you are asking yourself with so many candidates running in the primaries. With so many nominees to choose from it is easy to get confused on what candidate you should vote for and who fits your political outlook. I found a site called Pick Your Candidate. This website has a survey that asks you how you feel about social, legal, domestic, and international affairs. Don’t worry, there is no writing necessary. How you feel about a particular issue is chosen through a pull-down menu that rates your outlook on the subject. The results are then calculated and a new page will pop up and show you which 2008 Presidential candidates match your perspective on politics, social issues, and international concerns.

I told a lot of my friends about this site during our political debates on who should be our next president. Most of my friends that thought that they were going to vote for one person decided to support a different candidate after taking this test. This site is easy to use and gives you a chance to second guess what presidential candidate you would vote for and gives you a direction on who to vote for if you are undecided.
