Vote by Issues

NPR stations has put online a very quick quiz in which you are presented with statements by each of the four candidates in our gubenatorial elections and you choose with you agree or disagreeg. After that you get a final total on how much you agree or disagree with each candidate. In my case, for example, I agreed with Deval Patrick on nine issues and disagreed with him on only one. My views had the least in common with Kerry Healy, with whom I disagreed on 7 issues. The nice thing about the quiz is that you are presented the staetments by candidates o without being told who said what. So you take the quiz based entirely on specific issues,.

This is the way we all ought to vote–not based on personality or simply party affiliation, but on issues. Quizes like this can help us do that.
