The good folks (or folk) at ExpertVoter.org have put up a very nifty chart letting us see the candidates’ video statements about issues — or lackthereof. We at PrezVid were getting around to building building such a thing ourselves, but that’s the great thing about the internet: somebody’s already building what you want.

Interesting to see the number of video statements they found for each issue; bet this doesn’t sync up with the real concerns of the voters. That count: Iraq - 15, immigration - 10, energy - 10, health care - 8, nuclear proliferation - 7, education - 7, taxes/debt - 7, campaign reform - 3, social security - 2. And the candidates with the most stands on video: Edwards and Romney with 8 out of 9.

I emailed the guy behind Expert Voter, who by day worked at a construction company developing its intranet, and asked what motivated him to go to the good effort to make this. Gary Stark replied: “As I see it, there’s too much money trading hands in the campaign process, which works in favor of special interests and against the people. It’s my goal to deflate the system. The beauty of the internet is that it levels the communications playing field and it allows someone like me (a nobody) to make a perceptible difference.”

On the internet, nobody’s a nobody.
