Crunch Time or The Only Winning Move
February 5th, 2008 by Jared Morris
For those of you that would like to enjoy a Nestle’s Crunch visit this site, but for everyone else still having trouble distinguishing between Presidential candidates today, here’s some sources I used on the program today to identify major issues and positions of some of the candidates.
First the 2008 Presidential Calculator, it’s a poll that gives you twenty some questions to answer and it’ll pick the best candidate for you to vote for, if you can’t make up your own mind, why not allow a computer to do it for you? Heck, it worked for Matthew Broderick in War Games… Although that almost didn’t turn out that well…

2Decide.com has a page devoted to the candidates on such issues as immigration and abortion with a simple “Support” or “Oppose” Check list:

Selectstart.com has a cool contrast and compare page about the candidates and previous candidates where you can input two candidates and look at how they stand side by side, this one is particularly helpful and has more than just yes/no or plus/minus features:

Here’s a .pdf from AFA.net that is a quick one-sheet on the candidates with simple yes and no’s for the time and or comprehension impaired:

And lastly, the Media Matters “Myths about Obama” page I referenced towards the end of today’s radio show, with some interesting information regarding some misconceptions about Mr. Obama..

If you’re reading this after you’ve voted, heck, bone up, maybe it’ll help you in November, assuming that the candidates positions don’t change that much between now and then.. What do you mean by “Not a Prayer” –
Ah forget it, “How About A Nice Game of Chess?”

I am in New Jersey this week for a business trip. Actually in Newark. I was waken up by an Obama Van blasting his theme song and different speeches he had given. It kinda made me mad around 8:00am on the only day I get to sleep in. It was also in a heavily zoned school district. Quite distrubing. I didn’t know what was going on at first thinking my alarm was going crazy. But it was just crazy Obama supporters. The city is also littered with Clinton signs on telephone poles and all over the ground. Poor Newark, a majority democratic city that is a dump and elected a mayor that doesn’t care about education, illegal immigration, or poor class. He’s a great speaker though.
