Angela,
I'm replying to the entire listserv with my suggestion, b/c I think this
is a great resource...
http://www.issues2000.org/Quiz.htm
This specific area of the website is an interactive quiz that you can
take to help identify which presidential candidates hold positions that
are most consistent with your own views on a variety of domestic,
economic and foreign policy issues. After you take the quiz, it "racks
and stacks" the declared candidates (from all parties) and their
positions against your answers so you can see, for example, that
candidate A matches your responses 80% of the time and candidate B 65%
of the time, etc. The site also provides hyperlinks to provide
background and more detailed explanations of each issue and even gives
examples of how to define your positions.
I haven't explored other areas of the site in depth, but this section is
well balanced. The "about us" section of the site indicates that their
mission is to provide non-partisan information for voters in the
Presidential election, so that votes can be based on issues rather than
on personalities and popularity, and that they get their information
from newspapers, speeches, press releases, and the Internet.
Hope this helps! :-)

Hello! I am looking for reputable websites for information concerning
the
presidential candidates. I want my students to compare and contrast the
candidates and was curious if any of you had any great sites in mind
that
you'd be willing to share. Thanks!
