The questionnaire is submitted to federal, gubernatorial and state legislative office candidates. This questionnaire covers a comprehensive range of public issues, from Affirmative Action to Welfare, asking candidates which positions they support. But occasionally you'll run into a snag, as with George W. Bush, who doesn't have a voting record and did not complete the 2000 presidential questionnaire. However, he did complete the 1998 Texas gubernatorial questionnaire, and that information is available on the site. (Note: Neither Gore nor Bradley completed the 2000 version, but they both have extensive voting records that you can review.)

Getting Around: Tough at first. The site is ugly and clunky. It took me a few tries to figure out how to move around the site, but once oriented I was able to find a wealth of useful information. (Hint: The candidate information is presented either by Office (president, Congress, governors, state), Categories (biographies, voting records, issue statements, etc.) or by State. If you get lost, click on the picture of the man looking into the Capitol to get back to the home page.)
