• There is no such thing as an insignificant election for the President of the United States, but rarely have the stakes been as high as in the 2008 race.
  
  
• Voters will be asked to choose who can best lead our country to victory in Iraq and Afghanistan, can best handle a nuclear Iran and a resurgent Russia, and can best deal with ongoing environmental and economic problems.
  

In the Middle East, the Jewish State faces the risk of complete physical annihilation
for the first time in decades.

• Politicians - especially politicians dealing with issues as daunting as these - have an interest in keeping their policies vague so as to appeal to the broadest constituency
  
  
• This is an extremely important event for those who want to be informed first-hand of the important differences between, or similarities with, the two parties.
