Helpful Tools to Make Your Decision
With so little time left until V-Day (Election Tuesday), I figured it would be a good idea to give voters everything they need to make their choice, or, if they already have, to help others make their choice. So here is a list of links that gives the voters everything they need.
CNN Politics: CNN's wall-to-wall political coverage takes center stage on the Internet, giving voters the latest news and notes from the campaign trail of both candidates, as well as a forum to debate the issues with other readers.
MSNBC's Decision Dashboard: Don't like CNN? Here's MSNBC's version of a political epicenter. More news and notes, as well as opportunities to interact with other readers.
USC Election Center: A school-run web site with news and commentary on all the issues. The school bills the site as "a special resource for journalists."
The Daily Trojan: Check out USC's daily newspaper as it covers all the happenings on the campaign trail.
Obama's Platform: Take a look at the Democratic ticket's stance on many of the issues. And if you feel like doing some reading, go ahead and download the 33-page "Blueprint for Change: Barack Obama's Plan for America."
McCain's Platform: Here's the Republican stance on the issues.
USC Students for McCain: Already made up your might, and want to help elect John McCain and Sarah Palin to the White House? Check out what other USC Republicans are doing with the USC Students for McCain website and blog.
Support Obama-Biden: I found no such website for USC students who support Barack Obama, so if you want to spread the word of the Democratic ticket, sign up on Obama's website and let him know you want to support him.

I found this post to be very informative and interesting. The websites you listed are truly great resources for campaign coverage, both nationally and at USC. The ticker was also a nice touch!
This post help me research some of the issues each candidate represent and incorporate them into my own post. The Election 2008 USC blog will be particularly helpful in the future to understand youth politics here at SC.
