Still Undecided On Who To Vote For?
I know that even at this late hour, there might still be some loyal GlossLip readers who are still undecided on who they will vote for in tomorrow's Presidential election, John McCain or Barack Obama. I've already made up my mind, and I'm fairly certain Dawn has made up hers, although we can never be too sure with her since she's so quiet and unlikely to share her thoughts on the matter (just a little joke, all in good fun, right?). :)
So I thought I'd throw a few sites out there that could help you narrow down your choices, at least as far as a President goes. Your city dogcatcher...well, you're on your own with that one.
- VoteHelp.org: You are shown a series of questions that ask such things as, "I support very strict controls on government spending," then you are asked to rate your agreement, from strongly disagree to strongly agree, and then how important that question is to you. You get a total of 28 questions, and it took me about three or four minutes to answer them all.
- VAJoe.com: Fairly simple and straightforward. You're asked 22 questions, where you answer Yes, No, or Unsure, and rate their importance to you (from low to high). You're then asked who you plan to vote for, and then you're shown a page comparing your results to who you planned on voting for. Not as involved as some but interesting nonetheless, and plus it shows you candidates from other political parties (such as Libertarian and Green Party). It only took me two or three minutes to go through.
- Glassbooth.org: Probably the best-known of the voting help websites, Glassbooth has a section where you rate the importance of certain general subjects to you, such as Social Security and Government and Elections, then a more specific question-and-answer section where you rate questions such as, "I support or oppose the use of public funds to prevent failing financial institutions like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and AIG from going bankrupt," then you rate them from Strongly Oppose to Strongly Support (or the option to skip them altogether). It took me about five minutes to complete.
