Do you suppose that a candidate who is against sidewalks is going to respond to a like-minded group in exactly the same words that he responds to a similar question from TriTAG?
I agree with this. I am quite surprised at Terry Ross's responses to the TriTAG survey, for example. (Which is not to say I am accusing him of being disingenuous, but I would have expected him to be at the forefront of the anti-TriTAG brigade).
This, incidentally, is why I like attending multiple all-candidates meetings run by groups with different agendas. It helps illustrate the variance of candidate responses on issues.
