I find the comparison rather disturbing. Obviously no one is perfect, but many of the allegations are unsettling.

I am surprised that his campaign didn't do any oppo research early on, as they didn't appear to be prepared for so many of the accusations. Granted I know much of them could be fabricated by republican operatives.

Obviously, I hope we win the seat and if it is Platner, I hope he lives up to his promises.
