    Really know the candidates

    So much of what we see about the contenders for the presidential nomination is in 10 second video cliips or sound bites ... or taken out of context by a competitor, it's hard to know what the candidate's are really all about with out doing some research.

    Vote-smart.org makes the process a lot easier. It's a non-partisan website that gives you not only the actual voting record of candidates (and other politicians), but also explains the basic gist of the bill being voted on - and if you've ever seen the legalese in which bills are written, you already know that you pretty much need an interpreter to weed through the double and triple negatives and the add-ons and exceptions.

    Hope this helps - primaries will be here befoer you know it!
