While the 2008 election coverage has been nonstop in providing excitement, so much political theater gets exhausting over time. With just under a month before we cast our ballots, the only thing many voters know is that we don't know what we need to know about our candidates: where they stand on the issues of LGBTQ rights, women's rights, the war, the economy and the environment tend to get lost in the political game of one-upmanship before the camera. With just two weeks before the big day a focused look at their legislative track records tells another story.
