From Iraq, to health care, to global warming, the 2008 presidential election is shaping up to be about issues that matter. But what about what's not getting talked about so much? Who's speaking out on K-12 education, reforming our prison-industrial complex, international law, and other less glamorous topics? Check out my thoughts on important policy proposals from second-tier candidates here.

...A lot of people, from various left, right, and/or libertarian perspectives. The major candidates haven't talked about them much because:
A) We're still 6ish months away from the first primaries.
B) They're not the major issues in this election.
Rather than giving the second-tier candidates undeserved street cred, easier to look at the policy wonks and experts on these issues who are out there currently, and wait to see which campaigns snap up whom.
