What are all the candidates saying?

Where's the "change" that both Obama and McCain are running on? Both cite positions on Iraq/Afghanistan that are proof they are ready to lead the nation, to war. Niether will 'cut and run' before an oil company victory.

Pull out all soldiers and corporate forces, continue humanitarian aid. Put a stop to war profiteering, thats change, and thats Nader/Gozalez, on the ballot in NH.

Is bi-partisan good enough for NHPR? Please consider the diversity and values gained from a NON-partisan discussion.
