Still stuck on who will get your vote on November 4? Maybe you need a new criteria on which to base your decision. Like food. Check out what your front-running candidates use for fuel.

Barack Obama goes for comfort food. A steaming bowl of chili is one favorite, and the folks at Eating Well magazine who dug up this news say they recommend for health reasons that this Democrat make his dish low in calorie and high in fiber -- check out this recipe. Running mate Joe Biden is a fan of Italian food. When he eats at home or dines out, he usually picks pasta -- a little penne with tomato sauce and basil gets his vote. How would Eating Well spice this one up? By using whole-wheat penne pasta and raw tomato sauce.

John McCain is a meat lover. Baby back ribs are tops for this Republican, who'd be wise to opt for a heart-healthy, oven cooked pulled-pork sandwich. And for his running mate? Does it surprise you that Sarah Palin likes a good moose stew? A hearty Flemish beef stew, made in a slow-cooker with beer for extra flavor, comes recommended by the Eating Well team

Running for VP is stressful, so it's lucky that Sarah Palin has this custom yoga routine to help her destress.

Whether you agree with her politics or not, it's hard not to know what Sarah Palin is up to these days. Between election headlines, bloggers' coverage, and Tina Fey's amazing impressions of her, it seems like she's making headlines one way or the other.

One hot Palin topic is what the woman does to stay fit. She runs. "Running is my sanity" says the 44-year-old. Good for her. When you're in a stressful position, which the Republican VP nominee is definitely in right now, exercise can help you keep that stress in check. Sarah's regular runs likely help her body deal with her new, hectic schedule and her life in the Election 2008 fast lane.

Tara Stiles, YouTube yoga pro, has created a routine she thinks is perfect for Sarah. It includes Warrior pose, perfect for "mavericks," bow and arrow pose, for Sarah's love of hunting wild game, and a headstand, for clarity before important interviews.

I'm not going to lie. This video is pretty funny, especially if you love yoga and adore dishing about political figures. But it's probably not for people who adore Sarah Palin. If that's you, check out one of Tara's many other videos on yoga.

She recently shocked the nation by being named John McCain's running mate in the 2008 federal election. But Sarah Palin has been her own running mate for a long time -- only this time, we're talking conventional running, the kind you do on the side of the road. She recently opened up about her healthy habits:

• Her diet: Palin and family eat a lot of wild Alaskan seafood, moose, caribou and fresh fruit.
• Her fitness: Palin ran seven to 10 miles a day until her pregnancy, then switched to aerobics. Nowadays, she is running around three miles a day. "Conventional running is my sanity," she says.
• Her unhealthy habit: She skips breakfast: "I know it's the most important meal of the day but I still haven't bought into it. I hate to admit it, but a skinny white-chocolate mocha is my staple in the morning."
  

Love or hate her politics, it sounds like she's living well and making healthy choices despite her busy schedule. What do you think?
