Re...Hi TJ,<BR/><BR/>I'm happy you've made the choice to blog. Regardless of how it turns out, any politician who opens himself up like this, directly to people, in such a "risky" way, for no real benefit to yourself other than exactly what you say, you like communicating with people, is A-1 in my book. <BR/><BR/>By risky, I mean that your blog will likely be scrutinized like a Master's thesis by journalists, other bloggers and opposition types, hoping you fire off something controversial. <BR/><BR/>You must have had staffers and assistants and so on advising you that this was a bad idea: Too risky, for no payoff...<BR/><BR/>I love the fact that you're doing it anyway.Gypsybloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05785206035560937164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591877594839783131.post-90545397173108662962008-03-01T18:29:00.000-04:002008-03-01T18:29:00.000-04:00Thank you Spinks.
