I was surprised to see that Martin Frost from Texas has a pretty good voting record. When he campaigned against Nancy Pelosie for house minority leader he did so because he said she was too liberal. I immediately discounted him until I looked at his actual record.

I like Howard Dean because he is tenacious and outspoken on the issues.

Tim Roemer is way too far to the right to suit me.

The others I'm not too familiar with, but I'll go through the information in some of our posts here. I did look at Rosenberg's website, but he seems to be heavily linked to the old-line Democrats and that bothers me. His website didn't give me any warm fuzzy feelings either.

As far as an endorsement, we could make up a questionnaire and ask the candidates to answer it. Obviously if they don't answer it they are not looking for our endorsement. But with such a limited amount of time, not to mention an enormous amount of input, this probably would not be practical.
