Help decide with Connect 2 Elect

With the 2008 presidential election looming just around the corner many people may want to know what candidate best represents their own political views and ideology. Making this decision even harder is the massive amount of news coverage on each candidate which is not always entirely objective. It is no wonder that many voters feel both apathetic and overwhelmed. Well there is some light in the darkness when it comes to choosing the right presidential candidate with the online connect 2 elect website.

What connect 2 elect aims to do is allow the user to enter a variety of information about the issues they feel are most important. Once this is done the connect 2 elect website compiles the information then gives the user a target view with them in the center. Surrounding the user are several red and blue pins that represent the presidential candidates and how close they match the users political belief’s. While this system is not perfect by any means, it should enable almost anyone to get a better idea of who they wish to vote for.

My only complaint about this website is that I as an independent voter would like to see information on all candidates running for election. I know that many independent candidates are marginalized, but I think this little site could help them gain some kind of presence in the public mind.
