Dave Winer is a Democrat. I disagree with his logic about what to do if you want to vote, but are undecided about a candidate. If you’re undecided, there are alternatives to merely picking one party over the other. If you’re undecided, select an issue that is important to you. Find out how each candidate stands on that issue. Today is one of the easiest days of the year to get that information.

We voted very early this morning. Our 18-year old voted for the first time. Tennessee is one of the only states in the country that has no form of gambling. Once again, that issue is on the ballot. We’re also one of the only states that has never had a state income tax. Our gubernatorial election is indirectly about that issue.

Finally, if you remain undecided, ask yourself whether or not you are happy with the amount of money you pay in taxes. How much more or how much less would you like to pay? Which of the candidates seems more likely to influence your tax rate?
