If you are like many people in the United States, you probably have your priorities related to your community and home first, and then war on terror somewhere after that. Yet it seems that this war on terrorism is the single issue that we are electing a president on.

I have yet to see either candidate with a call to action and a plan. There are two forces at work during this 2004 Presidential election: Limelight and moving targets. As long as you can stay out of the limelight and keep yourself a moving target, you will be safe, at least for now. And as we focus on who is a better leader, I think that we really need to be considering the entire platform of a leader. The biggest issue we face from a President is their ability to VETO bills based on it no being in line with the political party that he represents.

Hence, we need some easy way to determine who is the best candidate for us. Here is an easy guide to help you decided. Not all inclusive, but a good start. Will you make your decision on one issue, or add it up?
