I'm amazed at how much getting some real information (not via this questionaire at all, really) has changed my vote this time around. I mean, I've never identified with one party or another. But I've definitely considered myself a Conservative in the past, based on my classic Christian beliefs. Now add to that my new-ish environmentalism, belief that universal health care would rock, that there will be no peace in the Middle-East (again, Christian worldview), that it is extremely unlikely we're going to overturn Roe v. Wade (and even if we did, people would continue to have abortions), and a slew of other minor things, and you get me voting for Barack Obama.

On a related note, does ANYBODY know how to find out what other elections are happening this November? I have yet to find a website that will tell me what else I need to vote for if I live in Anderson, SC.
