Welcome to the Jim Guckin Show's Election 2008 Page

Like so much that goes on in politics, we couldn't fit all the information on a single site, so we designed another site to hold all of the information. As we get closer to the general election, this site will contain information about the canidates where they stand on the issues.

Since we are in the middle of the primary season, you can find out where we are with the current nomination process and both the democrats and the republicans don't have a nominee selected this is where you can find up all the information on who stands where.
