on the issues
Online NewsHour and WBUR present this Vote By Issue Quiz comparing the candidates for the 2004 Democratic Primary. You can also read statements about fourteen issues by candidate.
The problem with this site is that so many of the prepared response statements are too similar to differentiate between candidates. Does anyone know of a better resource for comparing the candidates on major issues?

there was an interesting article in the new york times today discussing iowa, including john edwards' late run, and how (and *why*) harkin is actually trying to help edwards get more votes.
dan savage wrote an editorial last week saying that the same loopholes are still in place that allowed him to participate in the caucuses back in 2000. the final results could be horribly skewed by a lot of registered voters who aren't actually iowans.
