Don't forget to vote in tomorrow's primaries! (This will be my first ever primary. I've made the big switch from being an independent to becoming a member of the democratic party, mostly so I could enjoy being part of the primary process. And now that I have it, I'm not sure I'm emotionally ready for it) It's all sort of overwhelming--who to choose? In 9 short months we will have our new fearless leader, and I'm not sure who I want that to be. As a social studies teacher, I am shaking my head in shame at myself.
I've been facing this dilemma for a while, friend I've been getting emails in support of Obama, hearing tales of the better qualifications of Clinton, and I'm not really sure where to turn. Reading and hearing the platforms of each candidate hasn't really helped me narrow down my choice. The debates convinced me only that John Edwards was not going to win the candidacy, but really, nothing more. And then of course, how many conversations have I had/listened to about which candidate the country is "more" ready for? Don't get me started.
Also, I'm not really known for my decisiveness in the first place, and sometimes the details that highlight the candidates differences are so confusing that I'm not sure I'm really educated enough to determine who should be running this country. sigh. If you are suffering from the same uncertainty, and find yourself awake, reading this page in the wee hours before you take advantage of your right to vote, visit the Minnesota Public Radio's Select a Candidate survey: http://minnesota.publicradio.org/projects/ongoing/select_a_candidate/.
Good night, and good luck.

hey, there is this great website called glassbooth.com
you answer questions about issues that matter to you and then you see which candidates are most compatible with you. I've had both repub and dem friends try this site, and they all liked it and found it helpful!
as for me, i was out of the country on super tuesday, so no voting for me! I could have done an absentee ballot, but my indecisiveness got the best of me!
