Their platform is pretty clear to me... they are for the people... everyday Americans... not just the fat cats at the top like the Bushies. They are for focusing on the terrorists, securing our ports and securing nuclear material... they are for keeping jobs in the US and health care for everyone... they are for safe guarding the environment and developing alternate sources of energy so we aren't so dependent on foreign oil... they believe our strength in foreign affairs should come not only from having a strong military, but from using diplomacy and working with our allies... etc etc
