The Issues

I have heard supporters of both McCain and Obama deride the opposing candidate for not addressing the issues and for not explaining how he would lead regarding those issues. In my opinion, the issues are often complicated. As a result, going over the nitty gritty details of any plan is unfortuantely not a stragically advantageous move for either candidate in terms of winning votes. However, in this time of the internet, we are fortunate to have easy access to information beyond what the candidates choose to talk about on TV.
