Smitherman worse than Ford
Smitherman is no different than Ford- in fact, worse. Even the Star now agrees: "Smitherman may be even worse" than Ford: http://www.thestar.com/news/article/877406--real-pantalone-backers-have-little-choice

impressive
I'm really grateful that Xtra posted this very long interview with Smitherman. While I had already personally made the choice to support him, it's still complicated to make choices in the era of quick sound bytes and manipulative political reporting. I just invested the entire 1 hour 5 minutes to see the entire interview, and Smitherman is clearly a solid, strong, intelligent guy who will benefit the queer community in so many ways. Loved it. Thanks Matt for posting this entire thing and creating a real objective opportunity.

What's with the audio
It would be helpful if we could hear the questioners questions, and not just Smitherman's answers. Very frustrating to try and pick out their words.
