When in doubt, I choose women
So...do you have a method to your madness when you vote? I assume you research alllllllll the issues and know exactly who to vote for on every ballot, including the all-important Dogwatcher Council.
When you don't know the candidates or you haven't researched the issue, is there a method to how you choose who to vote for? Choose by Party? Choose by gender? Pick the name that sounds most sexy?
Please tell me I am not the only one!

I was very surprised to hear my male students say that they would not vote for a woman. Amazed me.
I always know how I am voting before I go. There are a few key issues I vote by specifically but I go to the polls well researched.

I've voted absentee for the last long while... so I open my ballot and research everything.  When in doubt, I do vote party lines.

I research the major issues but I just run out of time and steam when it comes to the more obscure issues. I should be ashamed of that, I guess....but 5 pages of voting issues on this year's ballot just exhausted my efforts of preparation.
I also vote absentee, and that helps. Plus the State of CA puts together a voter's guide of the issues.
I do vote for women, when in doubt.

I always to my best to research the issues and the candidates but I've got to admit that I probably don't get as much info as I probably should. It has almost grown to the point where election day is a great day simply because it means the end of all those damn campain ads. It's just disgusting how the candidates sling crap all over each other....... but at least it's comforting to know that "they approved each message." One week they'll be talking about how their opponent supports child pornography and anti-semitism and then the next they'll show themselves playing with puppies and kissing babies. What's really sad though is that many people actually let those damn things decide their vote.

I just choose by party if I am unfamiliar with either of the two candidates.
