Most Local Candidates Opt Out of 'Political Courage Test'

The election season is full of spin, bold attack ads and misconstrued statements, but Project Vote Smart has the goal of cutting through the hype and getting to the candidates' true positions. The only problem is that only four of 11 local candidates answered their questions.
The Montana-based research organization sends candidates from all over the country a "Political Courage Test." This questionnaire asks candidates to put a check mark next to questions they agree with. Some of the topics are economic policies, gay marriage and education. Since the questions are typically yes or no, unclear answers are impossible. Answers can also be explained at the end of each section.
