Surprising

<a href="http://www.greatfallstribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060820/OPINION01/608200305/1014">Candidate participation is abysmal — again</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>Once again, the majority of Montana legislative candidates have ignored the public interest and failed to participate in the survey conducted by the nonpartisan Project Vote Smart.<br />n<br />nAnd for the first time in the past three election cycles, one of Montana's statewide candidates — Democratic Senate nominee Jon Tester — also chose not to participate.</blockquote><br />n<br />nI am really quite surprised by this. The hype I read all over about Jon Tester would lead me to believe that this populist man would openly answer the questions and state his views. By not doing so it makes a person wonder why. A big blunder on his part. I can't wait to see the defense of this blunder by his fans or will they just ignore it. We'll find out.<br />n<br />n<strong>Hide nothing, for time, which sees all and hears all, exposes all. Sophocles</strong>
