pnwmom deserves the "thanks"

A thread posted in my name yesterday hit one out of the park, and I got many thanks for it, and the thanks should have gone to pnwmom. I was too shy to start a big thread and was afraid John Kerry would not get the credit he deserved because the wrong person posted the thread. It started because I got tears in my eyes when I heard it on the news, and ran to DU, and when I got there, like Mother Hubbard looking for a bone, the cubboard was bare.

Thanks pnwmom for the encouragement. You're a kind lady.

And you never have to be anxious starting a thread. DU often surprises me. A lot of times it's my simplest posts or threads that get the most attention.

She was right - it is the subject that gets the attention. I really admire many who have the knack of picking a good subject line.

Speaking just for me, it was very nice to see this thread. It is a moment to take pause, congratulate Obama and especially Kerry for getting to this point -- all the while knowing that much more work faces Kerry. Thank you -- and her for that thread.

It was all your idea -- you just needed a little encouragement.

But we ALL are very proud of Secretary of State John Kerry, for accomplishing what all the naysayers claimed was impossible, in the face of strident opposition.
