Well, I finally found time to take a quick glance at the websites of most of our esteemed 2008 presidential candidates tonight. It seems you can get a pretty good idea of where someone stands on an issue simply by how they title it in their "Issues" section. Here are my thoughts, for anyone who might dare to care...

Barack Obama: Definitely a liberal, but I appreciate that he seems to have his head on his shoulders. I'd definitely take him over a Hillary or Edwards. I thought it was telling that his home page didn't feature a picture of him front and center.

Hillary Clinton: The fact that she actually had "Global Warming" in the title of one of her issues entries pretty much sealed the deal for me. Also, running as "A Champion for Women" made me wonder how I'd feel if Barack ran on the platform of his skin color. It's simply distasteful.

John Edwards: His Plan to Build One America would probably fly better in a Marxist state than in the US. Not interested.

Mitt Romney: Definitely came across well on his "strength" platform...Oops! I'll finish my thoughts later.
