Just got a thank you note from Hillary...

...for putting up staff in our House when they arrived in Brooklyn (we're three blocks from campaign HQ). Doesn't seem to be the cold, calculating type I read about here...

Sorry, a thank you note to a big donor- and you have repeatedly told us that you are a very important democrat- is indicative of nothing of any importance.

It was nice of her for sending a thank you note and nice of you for putting staff up! Ignore the insults thrown at you on this thread. Some folks have no manners.

courteous as we would expect her to be. Anyone who has met her in person will tell you the same.

Not including obnoxious GOP committee panel members or knuckleheads who are obsessive anti-Clintonists.

I average about one OP a day. Many days I post none. Other days I might post two or three. It all averages out to about one a day. I reply to other posts far more often.

He ate up all the Fritos, drank up the good beer, and hit me up for $5 bus fare to get him to the next event.

Needless to say, I'm thinking that perhaps my allegiances are misplaced.

and got to shake Hillary's hand! It was warm and soft, not at all cold and hard like some would say.
