Having trouble figuring out who should get your vote for president? Check out Project Vote Smart's Vote Easy.

You can answer questions about national issues and rank the importance of each. With every question you answer, the lawn signs for the candidates will move forward or backward, depending on how much the candidate matches up with you. The signs even display nifty percentages to let you know how closely the candidates match up with your beliefs.

If you want to learn more about any of the candidates, you can click the lawn signs to where they stand on every issue. If you've already answered questions, you can see whether your responses match with theirs.

It's a pretty nice and easy way to bypass all the commercials and speeches to find out exactly what the candidates think.

Lake County Republican Party Chairman Dale Fellows confirmed that Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will attend a private fundraiser in Lake County on Sept. 14.

The event, not open to the public, will be held at the home of Ed Crawford, who has hosted other GOP presidential candidates before, most recently former President George W. Bush.

Fellows said it is his understanding that at some point before the Nov. 6 election, Romney will appear in Lake County for a public rally.

“We’ve been told he would be, it’s just a matter of when,” Fellows said.

GOP officials also continue work to have Romney’s running mate U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan come to Lake County as well, Fellows said.

Ryan appeared Tuesday in Westlake.
