Here are some quick tips to weed out the losers: aka How to select the right candidate for you

#1.) step one is to analyze the supporters of this candidate. What things does he or she promise to gain support of the current supporters? Are the goals of the supporters realistic or are they mainly self serving and motivated by greed or hopes of something for nothing. ( TRAFFIC hello!)

#2.) step two is to analyze the history of the candidate. Does he or she have the capability, speaking skills, debating skills to stand up to opposing viewpoints. (Have you seen your candidate argue the opposing side?) What are the accomplishments and how do they apply to the office of this candidate?Are there character flaws that may disqualify the candidate?----> gov of s.c. and gov of n.y. both got caught in scandals!!

#3.)step three is looking at the issues and trying to see how both sides are affected by certain actions. An issue may sound good to a voter but the reality and the implications of the issue may have a negative effect long term which negates any short term gain. ( more public transportation= more taxes= less traffic=actually driving on the dwntwn connector)

#4.)step four is to analyze the opinions of the critics and see if they are motivated by personal greed or a valid dislike of the candidate. Determine if they are angered by one issue of they have many concerns.This may provide you with enough information to narrow your choices and make a sensible selection. *some media outlets may support candidates for personal reasons*
