Wait a cotton picking minute, Gegonos.  It's not solely up to a local newspaper to educate voters about candidates and what they stand for.  A candidate has the greater responsibility to ensure that informed voters know where they stand.  That's, impart, why we have such a long drug out election cycle.  What I'm seeing around the community, we're looking at another layer of so-called CONservative candidates.  If anything kept me away from the voting booth is will be vote for a Republican or vote for a Republican.
