7. If we could count on more Secretaries of State talking this way,

"There are people who think I should be using
the position of secretary of state simply to weigh
the scales on the side of my own party. I just don't
accept that, and it would not be proper," he said.

"There are some people who have been dismayed that
I wasn't a Katherine Harris who took the position,
'I'm a Republican, and by God that comes first.' "

then I would feel a lot happier with the crazy system
we have, whereby partisans are put in the position of
running -- or should that be ruining -- our elections
in the first place.

Good for Sam Reed, and I hope he'll do well in the
future.
