You Can’t Afford to Not Know…

…where 2008’s candidates stand on business (particularly, small business) issues.

“What’s not rhetoric are the facts. America’s small businesses employ about half of all Americans, account for more than half of the nation’s GDP, and have, since the mid 1990s, created around 80 percent of all net new jobs. That’s why we matter. That’s why we should matter more.” – Rieva LesonskyI’ll keep bumping this blog post up to the front page as I find more relevant info to share – please feel free to share your own sources in the comments, too.

Here we go:

From BusinessWeek – McCain and Obama on Small Business Issues
From Inc.com – The Entrepreneur’s Guide to the Elections
From YoungEntrepreneur.com – Who is More Small Business Friendly?
From Bizwomen.com – Hey, candidates, what about entrepreneurs?
From Inc.com blogs – Obama blows off small businesses, again (although, both sides look to be guilty here)
From Inc.com blogs – McCain reverses himself on the economy, again
From Inc.com blogs – Obama Unveils Small Business Rescue — And Boosts SBA
And with time ticking down to election day… I found just what I needed – a side-by-side comparison of the candidates from the NFIB (National Federation of Independent Business):Where They Stand On The Issues – A Side-By-Side Comparison
