"The Irish Independent's VoteSmart tool asked both candidates to respond to a series of statements and the results give a good insight where they differ We're finally approaching the end of this Groundhog Day of a presidential election, an election in which journalists have been reduced to repeatedly asking the same questions of the only two candidates, Heather Humphreys and Catherine Connolly."
"One can only feel sorry for the poor journalists desperately trying to fill copy over the last few weeks. But we should also feel sorry for the poor voters."
VoteSmart solicited responses from both presidential candidates to a series of statements, producing answers that reveal where their positions diverge. The responses map policy alignment and difference between Heather Humphreys and Catherine Connolly. Media coverage of the campaign has been repetitive, with journalists repeatedly asking the same questions and struggling to produce fresh copy. The campaign atmosphere has felt like Groundhog Day, contributing to voter fatigue. Voters have received limited new information late in the race, while the VoteSmart results offer a concise way to compare candidate stances.
