Your answer harkens back to the Bobby Kennedy days when Bobby wasn't afraid to say what he wanted, when he wanted to say it. How refreshing. Transparency is necessary since government is of the people, and, quite possibly, with video feeds more places rather than less, two-faced politicians will have to grow up and be true to their absolute beliefs rather than the whim of a poll or particular audience. Cudos to you John and the Sunlight Foundation. John,
