Hope your entry into local party politics doesn't compromise that reputation the eyes of some readers.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to working with you during this exciting election year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970820281963706001.post-1992300815135928592008-05-15T08:44:00.000-04:002008-05-15T08:44:00.000-04:00No problem here.

I had several really nice e-mails in my in-box last night and this morning - from rank-and-file Dems that I've had the chance to get to know over the years and from some local party leaders.<BR/><BR/>I guess if anything the idea that folks didn't know where I stand personally on the issues of the day means that I've been doing my job as a journalist right over the years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970820281963706001.post-44326514937798237502008-05-15T06:44:00.000-04:002008-05-15T06:44:00.000-04:00"Trust" was perhaps too strong a word on my part. ..."Trust" was perhaps too strong a word on my part. But, few considered you a Democrat and, until you announced for chair, some probably felt you tilted Republican.

Obviously I have some work to do to that end.<BR/><BR/>I will say that the local committee received me with open arms last night.
