I’m intentionally avoiding Election ’08 blogging, because it’s all going to change a lot over the next few months, and I don’t want to get burnout.

But this handy chart is pretty cool.  You’ll need to click on it to get the full thing.  It’s a chart of 18 Democratic and Republican presidential candidates and their positions on 25 issues ranging from Iraq, immigration, universal heathcare, stem cell research, and same-sex marriage.

I can’t vouch for its accuracy, but it’s a good first-step tool.

RELATED:  Okay, since I’m doing a little ’08 stuff today, I might as well mention that some new numbers out of North Carolina from Public Policy Polling show Edwards tied with Clinton for first place here (his home state), with Obama behind the two:

Edwards 29%
Clinton 29%
Obama 23%
