So... I have a large request (regarding US election)

[KeilanS]

Would some kind person be willing to sum up the US presidential election for me (or link me to an online article that sums it up)? Like who are the main candidates, what parties do they stand for and what stance do they take on major issues. I'd figure it out myself... but I"m not sure if I want to read through 15 wikipedia articles that are each 30 pages long.

Thanks,

Keilan

Okay....

Republicans - Mitt Romney, Rudy Gulianni, John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Tommy Thompson, Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul, Sam Brownback, Duncan Hunter and, not yet announced, Fred Thompson.

Democrats - Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, Joe Biden, Bill Richardson, Christopher Dodd.

I listed front runner first then on down the line in the polls. Their platforms can be found by googling their names. Hope this helps.

Wow... somehow I had gotten the idea that there were only 5 runners...

I'm ALWAYS amazed when I go to vote on the day of the election and there are at least 10-12 people in each party on the ballot. People no one has ever heard of. I know there's this one guy who's been on our governor's election ballot for years and years.

anyway.....

Umm Keilan, You just might want to follow up on trusted sites on your own to formulate your own opinions. Getting information from someone else could be misleading or biased. Getting second hand information can be less than accurate information.

Thanks Berribear but I was keeping that in mind. It doesn't take too long at worthy before one figures out what biases to watch out for and usually how to decode them to find what you're looking for.

there was a thread somewhere on here, maybe started by senerhu? about a month ago... it linked to a website where there was a graph, listing each candidate and where they stood on each issue.
