Get Ready. Get Set. Vote!

Every four years college students are on the receiving end of a big push--to get out and vote. Duh!

And in Wisconsin, they make it pretty easy. This week there's even someone on campus from the League of Women Voters who will register you on the spot so that you're good to go and vote on November 4th.

But the BLURB goes it one better: be an informed voter. If you've been checking out the national news/opinion forums--CNN, FOX, MSNBC, PBS, CBS, ABC, NBC, etc.--and any of the bazillion shows covering the Presidential Election, you know that the slant, and even the story itself, that you get depends so much on the channel you happen to be watching. So what's a body to do? Easy. Watch a couple of different channels and watch the upcoming debates. Then, equipped with at least that much information, cast your vote. 'Cause, you name the issue, a lot is riding on this election.
