"“I have no comment on politics,” Smith said earlier in the evening. "

Read the article again. The back stab quip was in quotes but it was not a full sentence; there was no context. Nothing before and nothing following.

Any other negative comments are from others. This is a hit piece as best it can be woven. There is no more honorable man than Sen. Smith who has, historically, the most conservative voting record in the Senate.

His political career probably is over. He's way too honest, candid and principled to continue on in politics. I mean the guy even admits his mistakes (including leaving the GOP for a few months). And he still refuses to jump on the Sununu bandwagon because he just can't support the guy with a straight face.

If every U.S. Senator was like Bob Smith, the lobbyists and special-interest groups would have to spend all their time and money in the House of Representatives or the White House.
