Reply #6: I understand herr need to break from blogging

[karynnj]

and the need to more specifically break from advocating specifically for Senator Kerry. But as you (J17) say you are always more than welcome to return to post here and I hope that we will occasionally hear from you.

It has to be really tough to be surrounded by people who, for the most part, disagree with you on politics. It also has to be very very hard to have your own personal life impacted to the degree that they appear to have been and to know that it was the failure of nearly every one in our government that caused the problem. I remember how engaged and excited you were in pushing VA towards blueness. In GA being blue must be as frustrating as being red in NJ - most of my neighbors in the reddest county in NJ find state and federal level politics unrewarding most of the time. (This year may be an exception as Corzine is not strong. Though that has happened in the past and the Democrat survives.)

Just know that we love you and if you ever want to comment, we will be happy to read it - whether it is in favcr or against something Senator Kerry did or if it is more general than a specific politician.
