With Super Tuesday (February 5th) fast approaching, and three primaries/caucuses already completed, it’s time to take another look at the 2008 presidential race. You can see updated info on how many delegates have been pledged to each candidate here for the Republican Party, and here for the Democratic Party. It’s difficult (if not impossible) to obtain unbiased information about candidates, but you can check out Project Vote Smart for reasonably good info. For a look at what candidate’s claims have been shown false (at least by this site – take everything with a grain of salt) you can surf to FactCheck.org. The Alaska Republican Party will be holding their “Presidential Preference Vote” on February 5th, according to the Republican Party of Alaska website. Alaska Democrats will also be holding their caucuses on this date. Wasilla area Republicans can vote for their choice of candidates at the Regan Building (3161 E. Palmer Wasilla Hwy) on Feb. 5th, from 4:30-8:30 pm. Alternate polling locations are available on the the Republican Party of Alaska website. Alaskan voters who haven’t yet registered can do so by filling out this form and mailing or faxing it to the elections office.

I watched CNN for like 6 hours in the airport when Aaron and I were traveling back from Florida. Lots and LOTS of coverage of the elections. Very little about what anyone stood for. Hook me up with the 411 Janeen. Where can I get the cold, hard, detailed facts about what these people plan to do in office? Anyone can yammer on and on about change. But what kind of change is what I want to know!

Oh man, Sal, I wish I knew. Sometimes I feel like without knowing a candidate personally, it’s impossible to fully know what they stand for and intend to accomplish. The best bet for any person is to get as much info as possible: visit all candidate’s websites, watch as many debates as possible (or review them on YouTube), and checkout sites like Project Vote Smart. The only problem is that obtaining that volume of information can be the equivalent of a part time job. I would love to say that I have done all those things, but I can’t. Hey, I haven’t caught any of the debates. Not because I didn’t want to, but just because I haven’t been proactive enough about finding out when they’re on TV. If you find a great site, post about it so that I can check it out too! Good luck 🙂
