With the first primaries only a few months away, the field of presidential candidates remains confusingly full. So many choices, so many issues!

Sure beats watching those debates, now doesn’t it? For those who don’t have time for 12 questions, or who simply don’t want to think about bombing Iran, WQAD in Moline, Ill., offers a shorter version that steers clear of President I’m-a-dinner-jacket.
