I think the voting should have a list of 20 or so issues (i.e. military, abortion, welfare, education, medicare, etc...) and that you should vote for each issue. Then, based on your responses - it would tell you which candidate you should select. You could still have the option to go the other way "just because" but then at least you would know that you were being irrational.
I'm just sick of the majority of Americans voting for whoever "looks presidential" or based on the rediculous, non-pertinent storylines in our increasingly biased news networks (i.e. who gives a crap what each one did or didn't do in the military in Vietnam compared to who they are and what they stand for now).
I saw a poll they conducted on people who voted early and 63% of them couldn't name one issue that the candidate they voted for stood for. ONE FREAKIN' ISSUE. That's sad folks.
That's like my wife, who picks her fantasy football team based on the color of their uniforms and what their mascot is. (Then again, she's killing me this year - so who knows??) And now that I've tied this back into football - ADE OUT!
