How Caucuses work

Ever wondered how caucuses work?  Since the Iowa caucus is upon us I did a little research on how they work.  Since we have a primary here in Oregon I never really bothered to learn about it.  If you're interested you can check out the info here.

Who is your candidate?

This is pretty neat, it asks you a bunch of questions on the current hot-button issues and then matches you up with 3 presidential candidates that fit you the best. Wait for the page to load then click the button to start it. I wasn't to psyched on some of the choices for the answers but oh well...

My top three matches in case you are wondering are

1. Kucinich (I don't know why but I can't seem to bring myself to totally like him yet)

2. Gravel (people think he's crazy, and I know he wont win)

3. Biden (I don't even know a thing about him)

HAHA it's going to be an interesting year!!!

Republican YouTube debates

Anyone who knows me personally knows that I'm a Democrat. Even so, I think it's very important to know what both parties have to say and who the candidates are.  I watched the Republican YouTube debates last night.  They were given some hard questions from people all over the country who posted their questions on YouTube.  Well, I can safely say that I wont be switching parties anytime soon!  It's funny how much both sides pander to their audiences.  Giuliani seems like a car salesman to me.  Ron Paul has some interesting things to say and doesn't seem like he's sold out and telling everyone what he thinks they want to hear, however none of them are anywhere close to who I would want leading the country I live in.
