[Campaigns-l] Welcome; getting down to work :)

[Chris Chiasson]

I disagree with having individual wikias being "generally supportive"
of the candidate. I would rather have a platform breakdown, voting
history (can this be automatically culled from thomas.loc.gov and
other databases?), biography, resume, etc.

Plain facts are easier to organize into a neutral presentation (though
they can also be arranged so that the presentation is not neutral)...

Let's leave political "support" to other sites.
