How big of a role, if any, do you think the Presidental Canidates will consisder the "thinking" here on Q & A. Otherwords, do you think any of the canidates look here on Yahoo to get a general "overview" of what peoples concerns and issues are today? And will they bring out these issues to gain more popularity and votes strickly from the information they find here? This is an excellent place to find out what is going in peoples minds, right?

The Yahoo Answers API (application programming interface, for you non-technical people) is exposed to the public and well documented. It would be easy for any of them to run data-analysis on all of the content contained in here to determine thinking patterns. They could easily build profiles for each user's beliefs, opinions, desires, etc... and pool these into a database to determine what stance they should represent.

It makes no difference. I don't think much of what is said on Yahoo Q & A represents a majority of the people. It is just another means of campaigning with probably no candidates even reading anything or knowing what Yahoo Q & A is.

I am sure some at least went through the answers no matter how long it took to read them all. Most just see this as another way to get more votes. You have to go to their campaign sites to see if they are actually dealing with the issues they raised as questions here.

I think they may very well have their campaign workers checking us out. If not that then political pundents might be watching and, if they have a following, they might use what they find here to influence politics.

Well we all know Hillary brags about all the hits she get on her site and Yahoo Answers, only she neglects to say they are more like kicks in the butt.

Most likely not. Would Yahoo Answers be a reliable source?

None and the fact that I have to see Hilary's face in the politics section makes me sick. To be a politician, you have to have a stance on something.
