These are the answers to how the candidates line up on the issues. The one question I noticed missing is gun control.

Personal Importance of an issue determines the point value.

Equals 1 Point - This issue is not important to me
Equals 3 Point - This issue is somewhat important to me
Equals 5 Point - This issue is important to me
Equals 7 Point - This issue is very important to me
