The voter will strike the candidate's comments from the record
In reaction to the teapot-tempest regarding the "cone of silence", a Poll commenter at Althouse says:
That's interesting. So any comment made by a presidential candidate outside of the totally artificial rules of debate conduct should be disregarded. I had no idea that we were supposed to choose a candidate based on trial rules of evidence.
Next thing you know there will be a 'Presumption of Presidency'! Oh..wait.
the point is that we will never know if mccain cheated. and not knowing forces me to disregard anything mccain said that night

Well, I'm pretty sure I like the idea of a potential POTUS stretching the rules a bit. I just don't like the idea that he got caught. I don't think a guy like Putin would ignore that auxiliary data stream.
