Myself and a few other members of the Post-Dispatch/STLToday.com team have put together a side-by-side comparison of the gubernatorial candidates. For the project, we interviewed Kenny Hulshof, Jay Nixon and Sarah Steelman on camera with the same questions, and edited their video responses down to about a minute each.

Click around, and hear what each candidate has to say on issues ranging from college funding to health care to stem cell research. We tried to stick to topics that matter both to the campaigns as well as prominent public issues and questions in Missouri.

You can also rate each candidate’s responses as you go, giving you an overall comparison.

And lastly, feel free to submit questions in advance live online chats scheduled for this week with each of the would-be governors.
