More Clues in the District 15 Mystery

In looking at the SD Family Policy Council's voter guide, one can't help but notice that recent democratic convert John Madigan lines up almost issue for issue with DakotaWomen favorite Manny Steele. Manny isn't exactly what I'd call a moderate Republican, and yet the only places their answers don't match are issues on which Mr. Madigan appears to be "undecided" -- allowing homeschool students to enroll in public schools less than half-time, and universal pre-school. Would one of the bluest districts in the state really want to elect a Manny Steele think-a-like? Or outside of the social issues that the SDFPC focuses on, is he a really progressive guy?

A quick breakdown of the voter guide questions:
1. Support sonogram requirements
2. Support giving Dept. of Ed authority over pre-K programs
3. Support more regulation of adult businesses
4. Support getting rid of the pharmacists conscience clause
5. Support allowing firearms on college campuses
6. Support allowing homeschoolers to attend public school less than half time
7. Support state website explaining how tax dollars are spent
8. Support giving benefits of marriage to gay couples
9. Support prohibiting gay couples from adopting (P.S. Anti-choicers who answer yes to this need to be slapped. "Yeah, we know that thousands of children are languishing in foster care, but we'll decide which loving homes they don't go to.")
10. Support abstinence-only education
11. Support universal pre-K
