I recently made a guide to help voters decide between the two major candidates for President, John McCain and Barack Obama. I will now provide a guide for the third party candidates. The various links should give you an idea where they stand on the issues, and if they have one, a past record of their experience.
The third party candidates running for President include:
Bob Barr: Libertarian Party
Cynthia McKinney: Green Party
Ralph Nader: Independent
Chuck Baldwin: Constitution Party
The following links should help you in your 2008 Presidential third party candidate selection (due to lack of information, some candidates might have more links than others).

Not that they are worthy of linking to, but I did a number of pieces on some of the third party candidates you listed, as well as some of the ones a bit further outside the mainstream.
Yeah, I enjoyed those a lot. I was torn between whether or not I should actually do these links, yet since I've actually voted for a third party ticket before (in State elections), I figured I'd do them just to be fair.
