Opportunity 08

The election of 2008 seems not just about the leadership and the commitment the candidates would put in but the issues they support and what they're opinions are about. Critical issues facing the nation like abortion, global warming, immigration, war, etc., the deficit and 2008 election of 2008 will have a impact on the political landscape. So, the Brookings Institution has launched Opportunity 08, a new project to provide ideas and information on a broad range of public policy topics facing America's next president. ABC is also going to team up with opportunity 08 and help Americans get updated and depth information about the candidates and their views.

I think this is a great idea. Since Americans want the president to have the same opinion about these types of issues that we face today, we would have a better understanding of the candidates. This would allow us to make better choices and vote for the right person.

I also really like this idea. A lot of people do not understand or know a lot of the candidates' platforms. The Opportunity 08 will serve as a medium between the normal, everyday public and the leaders of the nation. I think a lot of people will turn in to this project and hopefully, it will better educate the voters of the upcoming election.
