Which way do you lean?
Take the quiz, figure out where you lean politically!
Liberal or Conservative? Somewhere in between?
Many of you will find that you agree more with a third party candidate:
(Libertarian, Green Party, R. Nader, etc…)
Find three issues of that party that you agree with
Summarize what that party believes about those three important issues
(You can do this in Microsoft Word or your own sheet of paper)
Do NOT copy and paste!

Texans on the Election
A new poll produced by members of the UT-Austin Government Department and the Texas Politics Project, found that 67% of Texans think the country is moving in the wrong direction. This reflects similar polls across the rest of the country.
Texans do, however, support John McCain over Barack Obama 42 to 33%, and incumbent Republican John Cornyn over challenger State Representative Rick Noriega 44 to 31%. Libertarian Bob Barr and Independent Ralph Nader are both polling less than 5%.
Keep in mind, however, that Nader will not be on the ballot in Texas.
