    Just in time for today's New Hampshire primary, here's a candidate 
    scorecard. It rates members of Congress on how they voted on 
    technology-related legislation and awarded them a score of 0 to 100.

    Joe Lieberman
    37.50 of 100 possible points
    
    John Kerry
    50 of 100
    
    John Edwards:
    60 of 100

    Dennis Kucinich
    28.57 of 100
    
    Obviously this is just a snapshot in time from a few years ago and doesn't 
    cover the candidates who aren't in Congress. It is also subjective: Other 
    voting scorecards prepared by information technology trade groups tend to 
    focus more on trade issues, which would help Lieberman's score, for 
    instance. But it may still be informative.
