Here are some links to the education platforms of the major candidates still in the race:
Of all the candidate Web sites, Obama's includes the most detailed education platform, 15 pages for K-12 initiatives alone, mostly involving expanded early childhood education, NCLB reforms, and incentives to recruit and retain teachers in the nation's toughest schools.

Another resource for information is the blog Education Election (put out by the Education Writers Association) which has been writing about the candidates' campaigns and the role of education.
