I wanted to go into a bit more detail on what SelectSmart has for the 2008 Presidential candidates, having already mentioned SelectSmart at least twice before in my blog. (Remember, back in March? [INDY Blog])
So, here's the list of options from the current INDY Poll ("INDY Poll: Who would you like to see win the 2008 United States Presidential Election?"). This time I'm linking to each individual's candidate page from SelectSmart. Those pages have really great detailed bullets on where the candidates stand on the issues.
- Constitution: Baldwin / Castle
- Democratic: Obama / Biden
- Green: McKinney / Clemente
- Independent: Nader / Gonzalez
- Libertarian: Barr / Root
- Republican: McCain / Palin
Since only a few of the candidates above have information on SelectSmart, let me also direct your attention to this really cool article in Wikipedia which presents a "Comparison of United States presidential candidates, 2008".

INDY Poll: Who would you like to see win the 2008 United States Presidential Election?
I've made a new INDY Poll available. During convention season, I mentioned that I would make a poll for the 2008 United States Presidential Ballot once all the major parties* had selected their candidates.
* I'm defining a major party as those parties whose candidates appear "on the ballot in enough states to theoretically win a majority in the U.S. Electoral College" [wikipedia]. For a full list of the 2008 candidates check out Wikipedia's "List of candidates in the United States presidential election, 2008".
As always, I encourage you to learn about the candidates, their parties, and where they stand on the issues. I believe that votes should be cast toward the candidate(s) who you feel would best represent your opinions and values in their office. To aid you in that understanding, I am including links to Wikipedia's articles on the candidates' parties, their campaigns, and I will even provide you with links to some helpful online "quizzes".
INDY Poll: Who would you like to see win the 2008 United States Presidential Election?
As of yet, I've only found a couple online "quizzes" that I really like as far as political opinion alignment goes. The number one on my list has always been SelectSmart.
In fact, I'll throw SelectSmart's 2008 Presidential Candidate Selector Widget into the post right here:
(If the widget doesn't show up, just use the link I just provided.)
I came across another quiz today which is also pretty decent. However, it is really only good for aligning you with a candidate on environmental issues, SelectSmart's selectr address an array of issues. Anyhow, here's The Daily Green "Which candidate thinks like you on environmental issues?" quiz.
Once you've got your choice figured out, come jump back over to the INDY Blog and place your vote in the poll. (The poll closes at midnight MDT on November 5th; and you can always change your vote up until that point.)

SelectSmart your candidate
Over the years, I've used SelectSmart for the fun of seeing where I line up on a number of issues. However, my favorite use is still to see where I match up with political candidates.
If you're a resident of a state that is yet to vote and you're still unsure of where you should place your vote, I would recommend trying the 2008 Presidential Candidate Selector.
If you would prefer to go straight to a side-by-side comparison of the various candidates, you can visit SelectSmart's 2008 comparison of positions.
If you would prefer to just see an itemized list of the issues for the major players at this point in the 2008 primary season, here you go:
Remember, knowledge of where a politician stands on the issues is the key to selecting the elected official who will best represent your voice.
