Researching the Candidates - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Is there any website that gives an unbiased look at the presidential candidates?
Maybe something that shows the important issues and where each candidate stands?
I suck at keeping up with the news and would really like to vote. But I refuse to vote if I'm not properly informed.

miko....Project Vote Smart is a good non-partisan site.

For each of the candidates, it provides voting records, speeches, ratings by interest groups (left and right) on various issues, where they get their money, etc.

Obama

Clinton

McCain

And every other candidate, big and small.

Be weary of any sources that have an agenda.
