On May 1, 2008, iCue rolls out with a politically-themed collection of games and activities highlighting Decision '08. Join your friends in political debate and challenge your knowledge of the candidates, political process and issues in this election and in past elections.

On the Decision '08 Home Page, you'll find:

• The Daily Thought Starter – a video featuring current events that tie to the 2008 Presidential Election.
• The Question of the Day – test your knowledge about the candidates, campaigns, issues and events.
• Topics – all of the iCue resources for Decision '08 and previous Presidential Elections are assembled here. Browse through this easy-to-use Outline and click on any topic to see what kind of videos and resources are available!

iCue has assembled a rich variety of videos, political ads, debates, historical coverage and documents to bring Decision '08 alive. You can share these resources with your Friends, discuss them in the Forums, and even play cutting-edge games with them. And of course, use these resources to study, complete your homework assignments, for research or just to learn!

The Thought Starter is a video highlighted by the iCue team each day. It's intended not only to add an important and current story to our Decision '08 content, but to spark lively discussion and debate in the Thought Starter section of the Forums.

Tip: The Thought Starter is a Cue Card that you can snag and personalize.
