Pick your poison
We’ve seen it all—270 minutes of toe-to-toe showdown, barrages of slimy advertising, and campaign pledges galore … there are undecided voters left?!? Well, if you’re one of them, or if you just want some impressive political knowledge to throw around, we’ve rounded up of some of the easiest places to see President Bush and Senator Kerry’s positions clearly laid out; no blinking lights or stump speeches, we promise:
- One of the most impressive and informative collections of information has got to be The Washington Post’s Election Survival Kit. Check it out. Survive the next few weeks.
- CNN breaks down the platforms of Bush, Kerry, and Ralph Nader into eight major arenas, allowing you to read bare-bones stances within each category in very visually appealing chart form. You can either take in one whole candidate’s agenda, or line up the three candidates’ opinions on one topic side-by-side.
- MSNBC presents a more in-depth side-by-side comparison of Bush and Kerry’s platforms. You can click on the position that you most agree with as you read them, and the site will tally it all up for you—insta-opinion!
- This site’s sole purpose in life is to help match you with your soul-mate presidential candidate. Their side-by-side chart simplifies things with a simple “Strongly Opposes” to “Strongly Favors” scale on each topic. And there’s a fun pick-your-candidate quiz for all those Cosmo fans.
- Those looking for a meatier site will find it here, where voting records and candidates’ quotes (not just Bush and Kerry—most of the most prominent politicians this season) are neatly organized by person and topic. And another quiz!
- It’s true, money matters, and this site lays out not just a side-by-side review of Bush and Kerry on some of the issues, but a chart of how much money they’ve raised and spent and where it came from.
- Say it ain’t so, another quiz! No time to study …
And if you want it straight from the horses’ mouths, there’s always the Bush and Kerry websites to check out. Happy choosing!
