Scott Berkun wrote a pretty good primer for anyone out there that’s looking for specific ideas on where to go to make an informed decision on who to vote for.
“I couldn’t stop laughing, and crying, about how, despite our solemn patriotic pride, we have no idea what we’re doing. Although we’re often asked to vote, we (myself included) are generally too ignorant and self-centered to have much of a chance of making a good choice.”
The end of the article gives a 30 minute prep to becoming informed.
