Given that so much discussion is going on about the presidential candidates, and given that we’re having another presidential election in just a couple of months, you may be interested in a website that gives you the candidates’ perspectives on tons of issues. Unless you’re a one-issue voter (which I think is a pretty inefficient way to properly evaluate our potential national leaders), you will probably benefit from a resource that gives you all the details. ProCon.org is a site that does that. They have a 1-minute overview that tells you what their site is all about.

Before you get into comparing the various candidates, you seriously may want to take their survey that compares your positions on 65 different issues with the positions of all the candidates. Go to http://www.2008electionprocon.org/candidatesurvey.htm and download the Excel spreadsheet and take the survey. When you’re done you’ll see at the bottom what percentage of your views is shared by each of the candidates.

After you’re done with the survey, you can visit http://www.2008electionprocon.org/ for tons of information about the candidates and even pick particular issues and see how everyone stands. Or you can scan their Summary Chart. Candidate positions are backed up by quotes.
