nate, nowhere did i make any assumptions about the truthfulness of other SoS's, so it's not really necessary to call me out on something like any naivete' you may think i have.
generally speaking, i'm appalled as a citizen that there is so much dishonesty and lying that goes on by both candidates, and that we have to factor into our vote either who is better at it, or at least whose lies are least damaging. i don't feel like we should tolerate any of it from any of them, and that it's far beyond time to take them to task for it.
