With less than three weeks to go, Election Day is fast approaching, and it's not too early to get prepared.
Between selecting a governor, a senator, a congressman and a state representative, there are a lot of choices to make, all of which should merit careful thought and decision.
Just last night in Philadelphia, Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) and his Democratic opponent, Bob Casey, traded barbs on issues ranging from Iraq to immigration. And since the Santorum-Casey race has the potential to tip the political balance of the Senate, your vote could be the one that keeps or removes the Senate's Republican majority.
With so much at stake, citizens should spend time familiarizing themselves with the issues and the platform of each candidate up for election.
Who gets elected on Nov. 7 matters, so start preparing now for the big day.
