Seven Candidates Campaigning

According to the Des Moines Register, there will be seven presidential candidates on the ballot this November in the state of Iowa. How the ballot will differ in other states, I don't know. However, I wanted to begin to examine each candidate's represented party by highlighting their respective platforms.

1. John McCain/Sarah Palin for the Republican party
   


2. Barack Obama/Joe Biden for the Democratic party
   


3. Bob Barr/Wayne A. Root for the Libertarian party
   


4. James Harris/Alyson Kennedy for the Socialist Workers party
   


5. Gloria La Riva/Robert Moses for the Socialism and Liberation party
   


6. Cynthia McKinney/Wendy Barth for the Green party
   


7. Ralph Nader/Matt Gonzalez for the Peace and Freedom party
   


8. Chuck Baldwin/Darrell Castle (not on IA ballot?) for the Constitution party
   

I was unable to find links to every platform. If you have information about where to find the missing information, please let me know. Take some time to chase down the links that are present, and read about the philosophies of the people hoping to run our country. Pretty enlightening stuff. More to come...
