As we look ahead to the 2008 presidential election and the post-Bush era, candidates begin to emerge in both parties. Some are exceptionally strong on civil liberties issues. Some are exceptionally weak. In this series, I'll look at individual candidates of every major party--their records, their agendas, and their legislative histories.
I will not, of course, judge all candidates by a single standard. For example: A Democrat who supports restrictive gun control is fairly mainstream by party standards, but a Republican candidate who is not concerned about the rights of gun owners should have his or her views noted.
Every 2008 presidential candidate, regardless of party, will probably change his or her views on some important civil liberties issue, in some way, by the time the election takes place. If you see a glaring error or omission, please don't hesitate to let me know so that I can make sure that these profiles are as solid and informative as possible.
