If God speaks to me in November 2008, which lever will He tell me to pull? I wouldn’t begin to pretend that I know, and I’d find it hard to believe, standing there meekly in the voting booth, that the overwhelming message of the Jewish tradition so obviously leans one way or another.

Well, wouldn't the best answer be to check with your personal Rabbi? Wouldn't most of our ancient sages say that this is the best thing to do? Isn't this what the charedim still do?
