A Poli-Geek's Wet Dream

July 22, 2003 6:32 AM

GWU's Encyclopedia to the 2003/2004 Election Cycle- I was impressed when I checked out "Democracy In Action", GWU's excellent breakdown of everything political in the 2003/2004 cycle. It features an excellent detailed comparison of Democratic presidential candidates (e.g., here's my personal fave) featuring their voting record, stances, finances, and organization. Also, you can understand how a candidate campaigns in NH or IA, see ads that were placed by interest groups, check out which member of congress has endorsed who, where all the staffers from the 2000 election are working now, -- you can even see who's on the Green Party's Presidential Exploritory Committee. Thanks, GWU -- I'll never be productive ever again!

Re: Kerry's strength's and minuses:
Kerry is the only presidential candidate to have appeared on the cover of American Windsurfer magazine (feature article in Vol. 5, Issue 5, July 1998).

Ah, yes, that's going to make the difference. *evil grin*

Yes, looking back, I wrote "strength's". I love apostrophes.

There's also Politcs1. Its from the publisher of HillZoo, which is aimed at congressional staffers.

Lots of detail here about the minor party candidates.

For example, guess who the Prohibition Party is running for President? Yup, for the 6th time in a row, it's Earl Dodge.
