<h3>The election process is one not to be taken lightly. It is the responsibility of every citizen to educate themselves about the candidates. We are going to take a look at the candidates and which ones match our convictions most closely.</h3>
 
1. Lets start by taking a short 11 question quiz to get an idea of what is important to us, and which candidates represent those ideas most closely. Click on the link below and take the quiz. When you are finished, write down which three candidates are given to match your ideas, and which party they represent on the worksheet. 
 
<a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/candidate-match-game.htm" rel="nofollow">Quiz</a> - after taking the quiz, minimize the screen and continue with the directions below. 
 
 
2. After you have written the three candidates down, look to the right of the screen and adjust each of the question areas to reflect how important each area is to you. Then write down the new three candidates (if they didn't change, write the same ones down again.) 
 
 
3. Now answer question #3. 
 
 
4. Now find the names of the candidates that are in your top three (either from list #1 or list #2, whichever you prefer) and listen to the interview. As you listen, list at least three things that you learn about the candidate that you didn't know before. Put a star next to one that surprises you.
