Anyway, the first thing you probably noticed in the chart is that even candidates who answered some questions ducked others, which is deeply disappointing. Any would-be president should be able to answer without equivocation. Only Barack Obama and Ron Paul gave us forthright replies, and they deserve credit for their directness.
We asked Hillary Clinton whether she supported a permanent ban on Internet taxes, but she evaded the question. (Clinton said only that she supported a temporary moratorium, which is an answer to a different question.) We asked John McCain whether he supported forcing Internet service providers to retain data on their users' activities. He replied only that he wants to find the "best path forward"--which might be forgivable obfuscation from a neophyte, but not from the former chairman of the Senate committee overseeing this area of Internet law.
Even with the missing answers, these positions seem to reflect the candidates' broader philosophies. Obama appears more liberal than Clinton, flatly opposing the Real ID Act while she's less forceful, saying it needs to be reviewed. Both engage in a careful lapse in memory: unlike Paul, Clinton and Obama voted for Real ID as part of a broader "Global War on Terror" spending bill three years ago before turning around and criticizing it.
