election coverage

so, as most folks know, i'm fairly a-political. after living in DC for 4 years and hanging out with friends who were interns for various politicians, i'm fairly neutral about politics... but with an election year, i like everyone else, gets interested in the candidates and their stance on a variety of key topics.
i've been looking for a t-chart if you will, of the candidates views on the key topics - war in iraq, environment, etc. today i found it.

on a british news site... why i had to 'cross the pond' to find it on the BBC News site - i don't know, but apparently that was easier than a US news outlet creating one.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/629/629/7436221.stm

for those of you interested - that's the link.

essentially a foreign news outlet has better more balanced news coverage of the US election than a US new outlet...

embarrassing!
