This site lists most of the major issues in this campaign and compares the postions of all three major candidates ( Bush, Kerry and Nader ... wish they had included the Libertarian candidate too! ) on each issue:

It really pointed out some differences between Nader and Kerry, that I didn't realize at first.
Interesting, it put Kerry as more for separation of church and state than Nader.
I just figured, Nader, being more left...guess not.

I am SO adding that to my favorites. ^_^
If Nader and Kerry where merged into one canidate, I'd vote for that canidate. However, right now I'm more for Kerry than Nader.

The site didn't seem to go into too much detail as to how those values where assigned, even doing a bit of self-siting (it is a Time website that sources an AOL, a Time-Warner division, as a source.) The other two sources are, reasonably enough, the candidates websites. However, it makes valuetive judgments on the issues without a clear understanding of how that is arrived at or what it means to be 'somewhat' or 'strongly' in favor of or against each issue. As an initial guide it is interesting enough, but should be a begining of your search, not the end.
Following the links from the AOL source I ran into this (http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/elections/article.adp?id=20041010213809990001), which was interesting but pretty far off topic.
