Presidential Candidates' Educational Platforms

Do you know where our presidential candidates' stand on educational issues? Education seems to have dropped from the conversations (or attention of the media) given the overall economic crises and of course continuing debates regarding the US presence in the Middle East.

The first link will take you to an archival page of Education Week where candidates' statements of the last year (or so) are organized.  The second link is the site where you can sign up for the webcast of the candidates' advisors on education.

Please be informed - then please vote!
