"'Tactics such as tracking demean the political process, contribute to voter
cynicism, and have no place in the type of substantive issues-oriented campaigns
that our voters deserve,' wrote Steve Abbott, Collins' chief of staff. "
What I think is demeaning is the idea that you think you can run for office and control the terms of your public image. Tracking means that you can't say one thing to one group of people, and turn around and day another thing to another group of people. America wants to know that its leaders are honest people. Tracking does not harm an honest and open politician, it does harm the ones that think they can play the system.
