I know enough to know I don't know.

It's officially election time. I'm officially a Democrat, but that still leaves a lot to be decided in the primaries. What kind of Democrat am I? One with a strong stance on war, or do I care more about health care? The Vote Smart Web site is a great resource to find out about how each presidential candidate voted on certain issues, broken down by category, during their tenure. Unfortunately, neither Clinton nor Obama (the only two I've looked at) wanted to share their stances on political issues posed by the organization.

My next stop - The New York Times archive. I really care to be educated this time around. If nothing else, it makes for good dinner table conversation. If you don't abide by the adage of avoiding religion and politics at dinner.
