On the Record

12.19.07 Fred Thompson: Former Tennessee Republican Senator
Republican candidate Fred Thompson has a 100 percent rating from anti-choice groups and the NRA. He is not afraid to take a stand, ending up on the short end of a couple of 99-1 votes, voting against those who wanted to federalize matters that he believed were better left to state and local officials. Where does he stand on issues you care about?

12.11.07 John Edwards: Former Democratic Senator from North Carolina
John Edwards has taken a populist position on the campaign trail, often talking about “two Americas” and corporate corruption. He also often slams NAFTA and outsourcing. Does his voting record match his rhetoric and promises?

12.05.07 John McCain: Republican Senator from Arizona
Sen. John McCain has a reputation as a straight talking maverick. We'll look at how independent the senator has been in his 25 years on Capitol Hill, on immigration or campaign finance reform, on the war in Iraq and a possible war with Iran. When does McCain vote with his party, and when does he go his own way?

11.21.07 Dennis Kucinich: Democratic Representative from Ohio
In 1994, when Democrats were losing everywhere, Dennis Kucinich picked up the populist banner and won a state senate seat. Since joining the House two years later, he has fought Clintons and Bushes and was an early opponent of the Iraq War. What does Congressman Kucinich go to bat for? Who funds his campaigns and why do Cleveland voters keep sending him back to Capitol Hill?

11.14.07 Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani
New York's murder rate dropped by 60 percent under Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, but complaints about police brutality rose by 70 percent. Giuliani received international attention after 9/11 and since then, he founded a security consulting business and became a partner in a law firm. What does Giuliani's record tell us about what kind of president he would make?

11.07.07 Chris Dodd: Democratic Senator of Connecticut
Senator Chris Dodd has been in Congress for 33 years. He is making waves for stalling the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act until amnesty for telecom companies is removed. Where does he stand on issues you care about and who's funding his campaign?

10.24.07 Mike Huckabee: Former Arkansas Governor and Baptist Minister
Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee is gaining ground among conservative Christians. At the Values Voters Summit in October, he focused on abortion, immigration, and what he calls Islamo-fascism. What does his voting record say about what he would do as president?

10.03.07 Bill Richardson: Democratic New Mexico Governor and former U.N. Ambassador
Democratic candidate Bill Richardson spent 14 years in the House and was highly active in foreign relations. In 1995, he traveled to Iraq to negotiate the release of American hostages from Saddam Hussein. Recently, he helped Democratic governors get elected across the country. What he would do as president?

08.22.07 Mitt Romney: Former Massachusetts Governor
Mitt Romney was only in elected office for four years, so his record is scant. We know he is a family man and a businessman, but what did he propose, veto and sign when he was a public servant?

08.15.07 Barack Obama: Illinois Democratic Senator
In 2002, Senator Obama called the invasion of Iraq "a dumb war." In 2004, he said he favored missile strikes against Iran, and recently, he said he would be prepared as president to strike al Qaeda training camps in Pakistan. What's his position on issues you care about?

08.01.07 Duncan Hunter: California Congressman, Republican
Duncan Hunter, a Republican from San Diego, has made a name for himself opposing immigration reform. Where does he stray from Republican orthodoxy and who is funding his long shot presidential run?

07.17.07 Joseph Biden: Democratic Senator from Delaware
Joseph Biden opposes public funding for abortions and supports the so-called partial birth abortion ban. He also supports dividing Iraq along ethnic and religious lines. What's his position on other issues you care about?

07.03.07 Tom Tancredo: Republican Congressman of Colorado
Congressman Tancredo is an outspoken opponent of amnesty for undocumented immigrants. He recently delivered a head of lettuce and a fruit basket to Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff and called on him to deport everyone without proper papers. Where does he stand on other issues?

06.13.07 Mike Gravel: Former Alaska Senator
Mike Gravel described himself as the crazy uncle in the attic of the 2008 presidential campaign, but when he was in a position of power, was he so far out of the mainstream? He released the Pentagon Papers and was key to ending the draft. What is his position on other issues?

06.06.07 Ron Paul: Republican Party Nominee, Congressman
Today, it's Republican Congressman Ron Paul of Texas. Congressman Paul is the only Republican nominee who opposes the Iraq war and openly criticizes U.S. foreign policy. Where does he stand on other issues? And where is he getting his support?

05.31.07 Hillary Clinton: New York Senator, Former First Lady
Did Senator Clinton move to the center from the far left as her critics claim? What does her voting record tell us that the beltway analysts aren't? And what does who she hired for her campaign tell us about who she listens to?
