Who will you vote for? Ask the internet!

First of all, you should know that I'm a republican - a very confused one.

I read an article in Newsweek magazine and another in Time about how John McCain is too liberal for his traditionally conservative republican constituents. I would have to agree, but I'm still not sure what to think. NOT TO WORRY: I'm not going to waste this post by boring you with political banter...



This article on Howstuffworks.com discusses the increasing influence of web-based technology on campaigns. Every election year, my friends and family spend at least 5 or 10 minutes a day complaining about campaign TV ads. Now, they have an alternative (and a much more in-depth one, I might add.)

For example, if you just plain don't know what to look for in a candidate, you can go to websites like this one which list the issues with the candidates' stances on them.

You can also go to Youtube.com and simply search for candidates and watch their campaign speeches.

Or, if you've already made up your mind, or are close to it, you can find several campaign blogs which cover several viewpoints on several candidates that will fill your political hunger.

As any good student of journalism would do, I encourage all of you to find your political stance and find the best candidate for you, and then VOTE!

Thanks for reading,
-John.
