Ashdown's views undecided

Pete Ashdown is campaigning for a Senate seat in Utah, and he wants you to define his stances on major political issues such as abortion, foreign relations, taxation, etc. Shouldn't he have made these decisions for himself long before deciding to run for office?

I would be reluctant to vote for any candidate who hasn't already built a strong ideological foundation backed up by substantive experience.

Ashdown should do his own homework on the issues. Utahns shouldn't have to do it for him.
