Just under two years from now, we will be inaugurating a new President and already, candidates are lining up to put themselves through the most scrutinizing of contests ever. Among the candidates that are officially in, it seems that Senators are the ones most displeased with their current jobs. With the likes of John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Baraak Obama(sp) all having announced their intent to run or at least explore the possibilities of running a campaign. While it seems that more candidates are going to be coming from the ranks of the senate,the reality of the presidency has been that Senators don't win. None have won since JFK. It seems voters like to have the senators campaigning, but when it comes down to voting, they prefer someone with executive experience. Governors (like Mit Romney) seem to have an automatic advantage.
Their points of view vary and it can get confusing very quickly. I plan to create a table or chart to sort out the basic views and help you keep them straight. I also will begin offering a profile of each candidate (one a week) that will provide a more in depth look at the candidate and their views. Look for it starting next week with Joe Biden (I picked him at random and hold no bias at this point). 'til then, Crusher
