The cone of incivility

Yes, I'd hope that many more candidates from all parties will ultimately sign on to the Civil Election principles - and more importantly, run campaigns to match. But it's also well worth differentiating between candidates who don't sign due to lack of awareness or personal choice, and those who are outright prevented from doing so.

Which raises the question: might the Cons' cone of silence extend even to a non-binding commitment to basic civility where it conflicts with their central campaign strategies?
