Quit working and play a game!

With just 26 days till Illinois’ primary election, are you ready?

It seems like non-stop campaign coverage started almost a year ago after President Bush’s 2007 State of the Union address. So if you don’t know the issues by now, well, it’s ok because you still have a little time to catch up.

If you want to try a quick-and-dirty approach to sort through the quagmire of issues, perhaps you should consider a presidential matching quiz. There are many varieties online. My favorites are from SelectSmart and USA Today, but here’s a list of others.

• My Election Choices
  
• Glassbooth
  
• My Candidate Choices

With all of the resources — the Internet, television, and oh yeah, print — out there today, it is hard to think of a reason to be uninformed for what some are calling the most important presidential campaign in decades.

If nothing else, you could waste a little time on this lovely Friday afternoon and then have your happy mood crushed when you find out you are a close match with Sens. Mike Gravel or Duncan Hunter.

Either way, TGIF!
