real information

i've been frustrated in following the '08 presidential campaign news because of the overall lack of information offered up by each candidate and the non-issues on which the media seems to focus.
this website is a really good tool for matching you up to the candidate who agrees with you the most on the issues you care about.
first, you give weight to different issues to designate which ones you care about, and to what extent. then, you are given positions on each issue to which you mark how much you agree or disagree.
the output is a % ranking of how much each candidate represents your positions. the ranking is based on those candidates' voting records and positions they have publicly taken on each issue.

enjoy!
