			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Glassbooth screenshot" rel="lightbox" href="http://kongtemplation.com/wp-content/uploads/glassbooth.jpg"><img src="http://kongtemplation.com/wp-content/uploads/glassbooth.jpg" alt="Glassbooth screenshot" width="250" align="top" /></a></p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t been paying much attention to all the election talk, but I&#8217;m starting to keep my eyes and ears more open to the various candidates. <strong><a href="http://www.vote-smart.org/">Project Vote Smart</a></strong> is always a good place to start, but with elections it&#8217;s nice to have more than one source to go for information. I came across <strong><a href="http://glassbooth.org/">Glassbooth.org</a></strong> a few days ago and I think it&#8217;s worth checking out, both for the fun factor of taking a quiz to see who&#8217;s right for you and for straight-up information on the candidates and how they&#8217;re <strong><a href="http://glassbooth.org/explore/">positioning themselves</a></strong> on the bigger issues.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://glassbooth.org/about">According to them</a></strong>, Glassbooth is built on providing information with integrity, nonbias, nonpartisan, transparency, and insight. You can take a look at the site for yourself and decide whether or not you believe them.</p>
<p>And, of course, they have their own <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=GLASSBOOTHdotORG">YouTube account</a></strong> where they post videos of candidates doing what they do best&#8230;talk.</p>
