There is another, less sinister, explanation for the low return rate of the Vote Smart questionnaire. That is, candidates receive many questionnaires, often asking the same questions but in different ways, and they can't get to all of them at once. My positions on all the issues your article mentions (except for the issues that aren't relevant in the state government) are on my web page, http://www.mgoldberg.com . Still, I'll be on the lookout for this questionnaire the next time it comes around.
