Candidates for election
I want a website that will tell me about the candidates. I want it to say that this person is for this, this, and this and is against that, that, and that. I am 15 and I dont completely understand politics so I need a site that will be easy to understand. It would be helpful also if they had videos of debates or something.

Try CNN.COM/ELECTION. They explain what a primary is, a caucus, party beliefs and differences and explain who Hilary Clinton is, Barack Obama and John McCain.
If you really want to know what each of them stand for bring up Google and type in their name and a list of all their official sites will come up. More or less if you type for example barackobama.com pr their first name and last name and .com you'll be taken to their page where they explain in the simplest terms what they believe.
CNN's page will also tell you when the primaries and caucuses are and how many delegates they are worth. The site gives a better explanation than I could. But basically, each candidate must reach a certain number of people from each party hat throws their support behind them to get the nomination.
The Republicans call for a candidate to get 1,191 delegates which makes John McCain their nominee because he's done that. The democrats which now consist of Hilary and Barack need 2,025 for a nomination.
As for super delegates that's extremely hard to explain but if you hit CNN.COM/Politics they break it down nicely.
