Continuing with the trend of writing about topics people actually care about in the here and now, there is another fantastic Wetpaint site worth stopping by as the election season comes near…
The 2008 Race Tracker has detailed listings of all the relevant Gubernatorial, House and Senate races coming up in the United States this year. Thousands of members have built the tracker using an amazingly easy to navigate platform. Site organization is broken down from the type of seat you are interested in, to the state and finally the district.
If you’re like me, or even a little like me, you want to be as informed as possible on the candidates in the elections you’re going to be a part of. But, you do have a life, and a pretty hectic one at that. That life hardly allows ample time to let you feel comfortable in what you know about the candidates and their stances on the issues that matter to you the most. Finally, a site (one built by tons of people, because, collectively we all have enough time to contribute what we do know) has accumulated information on all these candidates at your disposal! Not only can you read about each candidate, find links to articles, videos and other interesting things, but you can communicate with everyone else while your at it!
So stop by to find out what you really want to know about the candidates that matter to you, and help out! Leave behind what you know for everyone else!
