I just thought that since the governor had an A+ rating himself, he might have a personal interest in the stance the candidates have when it comes to guns and gun legislation. Don't you think the governor would care, if not for his personal interest, then perhaps for the political advantage, or disadvantage a particular appointment may have?
Actually, I'm thinking that he would most likely much prefer to have that
knowledge, but not have it be public in case that particular aspect became a liability. While obviously we would all prefer our government folks to all be A+ rated, not everyone thinks so, and to stay in office, political types need to keep all sorts of people happy.
If he knew what the people thought but it wasn't public knowledge, he could either release or keep hidden that knowledge for specific events and requirements. Sometimes being pro-gun is helpful, sometimes it isn't for political types. If he wants the gun vote, he later tells everyone he appointed A+ people. If he needs the support of people who hate guns, he keeps that hidden and tells them something else.
So no, I'm not surprised that he didn't make any information like that public.
