Non-Partisan Sites for the Undecided...

(I posted this around 5pm on the General Discussion Board and it's already been archived, so I figured I'd post it here because I think it's important information and will have a greater chance of being useful to active Internet campaigners.)

In my days of campaigning, I have encountered MANY people who are undecided. And I have noticed that offering them MY views doesn't really help them. So instead, if they are on-line, I offer the following 2 websites:

www.presidentmatch.com
I prefer this site because it starts with YOUR opinions and then shows you how your opinions compare with the candidates.

This site is more in-depth, contrasting the candidates' views on every major issue being discussed this year.

I strongly recommend visiting these sites and sharing them with folks who are still undecided. I have especially found that it clarifies where the candidates are similar and different, which is often obscured by propaganda and attacks, it enables a more rational follow-up discussion and it prevents unpleasant, unnecessary arguments over "non-issues".
