If you haven't already registered to vote, you won't have time to do so before the Presidential Preference Primary next week, but you still have plenty of time to register before the Presidential Primary in August.

No sense waiting: Find out how to register to vote in Duval County today.

Florida's Presidential Preference Primary is less than a week away (Tuesday, January 29, to be exact), and the candidates have been hitting the hand-shaking-baby-kissing trail hard. John McCain, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney even managed to stop by our fair city earlier this week.

Despite all the hoopla surrounding the upcoming elections, many Americans still are unsure who to vote for. Jacksonville.com has teamed up with activote to help make your decision a little easier. The Presidential Quiz helps users to determine which candidate best matches your opinions on a variety of issues from free trade to illegal aliens to the war in Iraq.

If you're like most Americans (present company included), you don't know dingo about rugby. But that won't stop thousands of sports fans/curiosity seekers (put me down for the latter) from coming out for the inaugural Australia Day Game, January 26, 1 p.m. at UNF's Hodges Stadium. The rugby league match-up, hosted by the city's own rugby league team, the Jacksonville Axemen, pits two of the best professional teams in the world—Australia’s South Sydney Rabbitohs and England’s Leeds Rhinos—who are playing each other for the first time in the U.S., incidentally.

General admission tickets are only 10 bucks. And if that doesn't get you there, maybe the fact that the Rabbitohs' owner (Russell Crowe) will be there should. (Wouldn't that be an entry for Invasion of Privacy?)
