This would be more helpful, in my opinion, in helping us decide who to vote for, than all of the sound bites and media circus we are being exposed to.

Good post, Hancle. Not sure if they would have a really firm idea of this at the primary stage though where we do the actual voting for the various candidates or at least the votes seem to count somewhat. The party machines start taking over though as party candidates become clear. Now, you sort of pick what party you think will do a better job of running the country by the time each party has its nominees. Each party seems to have a lot of influence on who gets those various slots of Attorney General, and Secretaries of Defense, State, etc.
