Truth is, everybody who runs on a party line gets stuck with platform planks s/he does not believe in. As a candidate, the trick is to choose which fights you really want to fight with party leadership, and then take a stand. Maybe some of the candidates who run as strongly anti-choice really have different personal beliefs. My issue is that they did not make a stand on issues I feel strongly about, and chose the (current) path of least GOP resistance.

Everybody running wants the job, and most will say and do whatever it takes to get their mouths firmly attached to the taxpayer teat. You have to be a bloody psychologist to figure out who will do even the semblance of a reasonable job representing the voters.
