W.Va. Candidates Mostly Dodge Project Vote Smart

The Associated Press reports on the less-than-impressive response rate by West Virginia candidates to the "Political Courage Test" regularly offered by the non-partisan Project Vote Smart.

The survey asks presidential, congressional and state-level (gubernatorial and legislative) hopefuls to state their positions on a wide array of relevant issues.

The group
also offers a free "Voter's Self Defense Manual" with this year's edition "loaded with samples of elected officials' voting records, campaign finance information, interest group ratings and contact information."
