In the coming weeks, this blog will lay out the top issues that the democratic presidential nominees are concerned with. Besides covering information available from the candidates’ websites, The Washington Post will be a major source of information as it has launched a special series called “The Presidential Field”. The Washington Post follows all individual candidates for the 2008 presidential elections, including a campaign tracker and an issue coverage tracker for every candidate.

At DemocraticPresidentialNominees.com, besides keeping you posted on news about the democratic candidates, we will be comparing the statements on major issues from the candidates’ official websites with information gathered by the Washington Post. We will be analysing whether the issues targeted as most important on the candidates’ websites, will be reflected in their speeches and television debates. It will be interesting to see whether the candidates’ speak according to the promises they make on their weblogs.

Expect analyses for each of the most prominent democratic presidential nominees in the coming weeks, as well as more general news about democratic candidates on the road to the White House.
