Where can I see what the candidates think about Pakistan? The would-be leaders of the United States do not think it is important for would-be supporters to know how they would respond to—or at least think about—a major foreign policy decision facing the country.
For candidates: Please, please, put up a page on your site that has responses to contemporary events.
But more important, for some ingenious developer: Please make a website where we can compare candidates in action, in the world, in response.
I want political reporting that fuses current political events and current campaign events. When something happens—a farm bill, marshall law, border skirmishes in Turkey—I want one place to go to where I can see how each of the Presidential candidates have responded. Voters shouldn’t have to spend three hours weeding through Google News search responses to “Clinton + Pakiston,” “Huckabee + Pakistan,” etc.
As much as I like them, neither the NYTimes candidate profile pages nor politicalbase comparison charts do it for me—I don’t want the candidates platitudes, I want their responses. And a place I can send people who ask, "what did Hillary say (or not say) about Mukasey that was different than Obama?"

been waiting awhile
Yea I have definitely been waiting for a long time for a site like this. It would be cool to have an interactive time line for each candidate so you could start off wherever in their respective history and move forward and see how they got to where they are today.
