Some of them go over how they would act in a few cases. I didn't really do this in mine, I thought I had been vocal enough in the main area that it wouldn't be worthwhile. For instance, I responded to questions posited by Bruce (and Amir's add-on), and I think I was the only nominee that did. Frequent readers know where I stand; I don't think that is a problem, but it's possible that infrequent readers who go directly to the polling booth won't think that I have much of a platform, and that would be unfortunate. I suppose I'll just have to wait and see what happens. :) Dave Gomboc
