What is the best or easiest way to select US presidential candidates for 2008?

I have been to some candidates' websites, such as Clinton, Edwards, Giuliani, McCain, Obama, Romney and Thompson but the way their websites are set up makes is too complicated to compare multiple programs. Any ideas or feedback on websites or questionnaires that can help me make the right choice for the 2008 primaries and US elections?

Reply:I agree. I watched the Youtube Republican Debate last night and didn't find very helpful either. A lot of sound bites but a bit short on substance, in my opinion.





A friend of mine has just referred me to this site called Select2008.com. You should check it out. It is very functional and easy to use.





You can select the candidates you have in mind for the 2008 Presidential elections (for instance Clinton, Giuliani, Obama, etc.). I believe you can compare 6 candidates at a time. You can also select the issues you are interested in, like healthcare, the war in Iraq, the environment, or second amendment rights. Select2008 will then ask you a few questions. Once you've done about thirty questions, you can review your results and compare how candidates address your concerns. It's really helped me narrow down the candidates I am gonna follow over the next few weeks of the presidential campaign.





Another cool feature is that you can invite a few friends and compare how you answer. It was a bit eye-opening but very fun!
Reply:A lot of the candidate web sites that I've been to has a section called "Issues", which has helped me to determine how they stand on particular issues that interest me. What I've done is compare those. If a candidate doesn't have that section or hides their stance on issues - I don't consider them. it's as simple as that. Try checking out Huckabee, he's my choice.
Reply:Hey, I thought I'd vote for Hillary Clinton but then checked out the select 2008 website - WOW what a surprise turns out I'm closer to John Edwards than I thought ! And it is true that I was kind of blindsighted by the fact that she is a woman, but now I'm totally for Edwards. Thanks for the tip John, I will send the link to my friends.
Reply:If you really vote on the issues rather on who has the best hair, or who appeared on the most episodes of Law and Order, you will probably find www.Select2008.com very helpful in figuring out Who to Vote for in 2008.
