I am sure other states did this as well, but in Idaho, the online newspaper (the Idaho Statesman) listed profiles of all candidates, with a series of questions, such as experience, education, why are you running, etc. My favorite one was "last book you read."

Mike Moyle (R), running for District 14, House Seat A, replied: "The New Testament."

After careful consideration, he did not receive my vote.

Pathetically, he still won.
