Trust Your Gut
Liberal Oasis has a great post up about what you should do when you vote in your primary.
Yes, read the position papers, know the biographical background, research their records, watch them on the stump, see how they handle attacks (very important in LO's book), factor in all the superficial personal qualities.
All that matters.
But you can't know everything, and you can't predict everything.
At the last moment, all you have is your gut.
Trust it, and you'll feel good walking out of that voting booth.
And while you are visiting LO, if you can afford to help, drop a dime to help defray the growing server costs.
(Gee, I didn't realize that getting popular could be such a problem. But it seems to be spreading - Kos is needing to upgrade his server again - to handle the new traffic! In one week his traffic has increased by over 10,500 hits since I last wrote about it 5 days ago. It was 92,857 and today it is 108,159. Wow! )

Prior to voting, this warning must be read to every Democrat voter:
You are a Democrat voter. You have the right to assisted voting.
If you are too stupid to read ballot instructions, an eighth-grader will be provided to read and explain them to you.
If you cannot figure out the ballot, a fourth-grader will assist you in following the black arrow pointing from your candidate's name to the proper punch-hole choice.
If you are so confused you punch two choices for President, a third-grader will explain how lame you are and get you a fresh ballot.
If you are so feeble you cannot completely punch a hole in a thin card with a sharp object, a first-grader will be available to hit your pin with a Playskool mallet for you.
Should you decline any of the above assistance, you consent to the fact your ballot is final and waive the right to whine, protest or sue in a court of law.
I have a better idea. Since I would vote for any Democrat to replace Bush, I will instead vote Republican against him:
