www.opposingviews.com - Corinne Litchfield / Rachel Jones The Bohle Company corinne@bohle.com / rachel@bohle.com 310-785-0515, ext. 231 / 224 Faced with the question, "Who has the right plan for America's economy?" presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama are going head-to-head on election issues at OpposingViews.com.

With the presidential election drawing closer and America's financial woes getting worse every day, the new debate site provides a forum for voters to learn about the issues and to see the major campaigns engage each other.

Users can go to OpposingViews.com and read each campaign's response to questions posed by the site's editorial board. Obama Economic Advisor Jason Furman and McCain Senior Advisor Taylor Griffin are making the case for their respective campaigns, allowing voters to plainly see what each side has to offer.

In a current debate posted on the site, Furman touts Obama's commitment to middle class families, promising tax cuts for working families, fair trade and green jobs, among other things. Griffin says McCain will give relief from high gas prices by suspending the federal gas tax and eliminate wasteful spending by eliminating earmarks and vetoing pork-barrel spending bills. Both camps will be posting responses to the other's arguments.

"This debate exemplifies the need for a site like this," said Russell Fine, founder and CEO of Opposing Views. "It gives consumers a chance to see direct interaction between the two campaigns. There's nowhere else they can get that on the Web."

In addition to political debates, Opposing Views features more than 100 experts and organizations debating important issues such as gun control, same-sex marriage, euthanasia, free trade and religion.
