You mentioned a couple posts down that you are basing your judgment of mccain and obama based on their websites. I would be hesitant to do that for the following reason: Of course they are going to make all their policy ideas sound fabulous and wonderful and everything, they want to please everyone. It's like a resume. But, on Obama's for example, a lot of my big important questions about specifics on taxes, traditional marriage, abortion, etc., things that would turn people off in the middle and towards the right, were not answered CLEARLY on the website or even addressed at all, which was very deliberate. Their websites read like fortune cookies, broad and generally applicable. So here's a site I recommend: http://ontheissues.org/Barack_Obama.htm and http://ontheissues.org/John_McCain.htm.
This site does an excellent job of summarizing statements they have made, and displaying their voting records, and organizing it in very nice neat categories, it's very smooth.
Well, yeah, of course a candidate's website is going to spin things in its favor. But that's the point, isn't it?
Ontheissues is a fine site, but I'd rather hear things from the candidate's own mouth than from a second-party source. I went to McCain's website to see what McCain had to say about McCain, not what a reporter had to say about him. Still didn't like the guy.
