I'm troubled by the Saova recommendations in my state. Three candidates are said to be AR endorsed -- Bill Ritter, Diana DeGette, and Mark Udall. I find that hard to believe, based on knowing a considerable amount about how these candidates vote on other issues. I'm thinking about contacting these folks after the election, pointing out that they're on the AR endorsed list, and explaining the issue to them. I can see the possibility of dirty tricks here. Want to defeat a candidate? Put him on the endorsed list. I'm not saying this is true; I'm just concerned about the validity of the recommendations.
