Get informed…but how?

Filed Under Politics, Primaries, get informed!, voter research 

Primaries are looming. Candidates are stumping. Sound bites play in endless loops on media outlets. Congress is flailing, and choices are coming down to the wire. In some states, primaries are in two months! Do you have a front runner in mind? Do you think Stephen Colbert has a chance?

I’d like to know where you’re getting your info. What’s your #1 source for voter research and candidate info?

And how about those early primaries? I would think that the few states holding out until June will have more sway than the early states. I mean, let’s say Rudy is winning the GOP nomination in February, but Romney voters really rally in March and June? I kind of wish my state was having a later primary, so I’d feel more like my vote was going to make a difference - like a close game in football, where the last few minutes make all the difference.

Any opinions on what’s better? Early or late primaries?

Oh, and one more thing about primaries. How about the states that are holding the Democratic primary on one day and the Republican primary on a totally different day. I guess there will be no way for people to keep their parties secret - if anyone cares about that these days. I hope that no one will succumb to peer pressure and vote with their friends because they don’t want any one to know they’re secretly liberal or conservative.

So, to sum it up, I’m looking for:

  • Your #1 source of voter info
  • Your opinions on the timing of the primaries.

Leave a comment already - don’t just get informed, get involved!
