Do you vote smart of go with a gut feeling?
Do you vote with your gut feeling or do you really research the
candidates. Seems to me most go with what they hear through the grapevine.
When I say most, I am speaking of another forum where all party's chat,
mostly Dems and Reps.
I actually see a lot of posters using the same talking points the right
uses. I don't know, we all could do this country a lot better if we really
got to know the candidate and checked their voting record, looked up some
of the bills they have tried to pass or listened to their interviews.
Just a thought. I'm not trying to suggest anyone isn't, just the way it
appears through posts.
Vote Smart, there are a lot of reasons your gut maybe dead wrong.
In the end we need to get the Conservatives OUT. To me, we need to do this
before we can do anything else.

2. There is something to be said about gut feeling.
I had a terrible feeling about Bush, I mean it seems like you could just sense what was to come in the way he talks and everything. None of the Dem candidates give me the willies like that, only a few of the repub candidates do.

3. I was pretty familiar with most of the candidates up front.
None of them are new on the scene. There are three I like but it was easy to pick one to support.
