Andrew Min, a friend of the blog, has written a 2008 primer for the Republican candidates. I met Andrew on Newsvine, where his column is a mix of conservative news and tech news. His latest column is all politics:
I’ve been wanting to do a sort of guide to the candidates, especially since the primaries are coming up soon. So, I’ve now finally stopped procrastinating and have started a little series (which you can follow at the 2008-election-predictions tag). But first, here’s a little introduction to the top six Republican candidates.
NOTE: I have not included several candidates in here. I love guys like Duncan Hunter or Tom Tancredo, but let’s be reasonable: they have no chance of election. If they start showing signs of recovering, I’ll modify this article. I will not do an article on Democrats since I’m not a Democrat and therefore will probably be biased towards the conservative Democrats. I am trying my best to be unbiased, but no one is impartial. If you’re wondering, I’m a conservative Christian who supports the Iraqi War. Mike Huckabee impresses me the most so far.
Much of this data has been found via OnTheIssues.org, an excellent site for any student of politics.
Andrew then takes a look at Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Fred Thompson and Ron Paul. It’s a good place to start if you don’t know the candidates that well.
