pearwaldorfSlate is doing profiles of presidential candidates. No main page you can link to, so here's the one of Bush, just because it's the one I'm on right now. Quite useful, especially the net worth and asserted achievements categories. (The campaign song category is there for amusement value, I think)
The conclusions that I can draw from these profiles?
Americans give their children horrible middle names. I mean, Howard Brush (I shit you not) Dean? Joseph Isidore Lieberman? And they're all sizeable seven-figures rich, except for Kucinich. Just a heads up in case any of them starts pulling that "one of the unwashed masses" crap.
Also useful is the Buzzwords section, which is a nice little cliffs-notes thing for what candidates are really saying. Why don't more journalists act like Spider Jerusalem and hate everybody? It creates much more objective reportage.
