I am looking for something to help me find out more information on presidential candidates. I was hoping for something easy to use as a comparison chart. Any ideas?

I'd google their web sites.
Seriously, you know how ofter their positions change. What might be a very important issue today would hardly get a minute's worth of attention tomorrow.

That is really a tough one. AARP and some of the Unions have them, but realize that they will be slanted to favor their ideals. VFW also does one that is slanted towards military and vet issues.
What are your primary issues? Do an Internet search with 2008 presidential candidate (issue). Look at a variety of comparisons. Realize everyone has an opinion which is a good thing but not everyone does hard research. Make sure you look past the headlines. ALWAYS see if you can discover what the data is based on (ie previous votes or campaign promises). I always try to verify info separately from at least 3 sources.

Definitely not their websites. I'd try "The Nation" or start searching the blogs. (Liberal and Conservative)
