Senate Votecaster 2006

I know that with everyone's busy life sometimes following the latest debates or attending ralleys doesn't fit into your schedule. This makes it hard to really know who you're casting your vote for, so many of you just cast your vote for who your parents or significant other suggest. I have researched both candidates and their positions on many major issues. Answer the questions in your opinion and my survey will tell you who would represent Minnesota closer to your beliefs.

Get started with these questions...

I am all for them using stem cells to help find cures for diseases and help make transplants more successful.

I think that using stem cells is inhumane, and I am against it totally

Abortion is a woman's choice since it is her body, and she should never have to carry a baby if it is a result of rape or incest.
