When it comes to elections, I take the priviledge of voting very seriously and try to be as informed as possible. basing my decision on the issues and also who I think is most likely to execute their agenda (I don't think this always goes hand in hand). I am registered in one party so I can vote in the primaries but at the end of the day, I vote for the candidate I feel will do the best job, regardless of affiliation.

As far as the issues go, here is a one site where you can see where they stand: http://www.ontheissues.org/default.htm

This one's a quiz that I saw someone post on another board. I took it twice -- the first time I answered everything and ranked their importance and the second time, I left out a few issues and didn't rank at all. Same result both times. Your results may surprise you!. http://www.wqad.com/global/link.asp?L=259460

Last but not least is a place I especially love to go after a nice juicy debate. No candidate is immune to getting it wrong and this site usually breaks it down nicely: http://www.factcheck.org/

Hope some of these links are helpful to those of you who are undecided.
Political Discussions get heated (on some boards).

For myself I know it will be a Republican (my choice I mean) because there are no Democrats I'd even consider voting for in this election.

Mostly, for my part, and for many in my peer group ...we are tired of this race which has gone on what feels like forever.

Essentially they all like the 'Change' buzzword, but none really say what changes will be made.

Regardless of who is President it all depends on the make up of the Congress since they have to vote on all the Prez' bills.

I'm not able to make up my mind; I wish I could take the first four republicans and meld them into one.
