Educate yourself. Watch a few conservative news channels like Fox, and an equal number of liberal news channels like MSNBC. Go to the website of each candidate and skim what they have to say--while it won't be the whole truth, it'll tell you what they think is important to mention. Go to this website:
http://www.ontheissues.org
To see how the candidate has voted or spoken about different issues in the past, and decide how you feel on said issues--pro life, or pro choice? For a ban on gay marriage, or against it? Etc.
It sounds like it'll take a lot more time than it will--a couple of hours on the computer, and you'll be a lot more sure of yourself.
