We had just finished breakfast and I pointed you two out, "Do you know who that man is?" I asked. He said no.<BR/><BR/>"He's Sam Adams, the mayor of Portland."<BR/><BR/>"What's a mayor?" he asked.<BR/><BR/>"well, he's like the boss of Portland..."<BR/><BR/>He interrupted me, "No - mama's the boss."<BR/><BR/>:-)<BR/><BR/>I had planned to drop by the table and tell Sam how happy I was that he stayed. I imagine he needs to hear that he's got supporters these days - and I suspect he has a lot more than the local media would let on. You two were having such an intense conversation, though, that I decided to let you continue uninterrupted.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the article - great insight into how Sam views this whole mess. Keep up the good work.<BR/><BR/>--poserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04048868206315190893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680617577121211502.post-5835929068330920702009-02-25T12:30:00.000-08:002009-02-25T12:30:00.000-08:00Good article, thanks.

If you could please email me at klause.kirschner@gmail.com if you're interested I would sincerely appreciate it. My work schedule is a little hectic this week so email is (almost) all I have at present though I'd be willing to meet over the weekend to discuss in person if you're available. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your time and consideration.RobertWagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06225482749389701369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680617577121211502.post-89977236715896504202009-02-24T09:20:00.000-08:002009-02-24T09:20:00.000-08:00I'm so glad the rally made a difference.

I remember hearing there was going to be one the following Tuesday but I had to go to class and never heard what happened.

But to be honest, nothing's changed for me just because he sought me out and was kind to me. That's great, and I appreciated it, but this whole time I've been operating under the assumption that he was not the nicest guy in the world. I'm was, and still am, okay with that.<BR/><BR/>He made me feel that what I was doing made a difference. I don't feel that way a lot, and it helped reinforce that I'm doing what I should be. He has a job to do that I want to see him accomplish.Holliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436639236719884847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680617577121211502.post-28433652576354568942009-02-23T15:02:00.000-08:002009-02-23T15:02:00.000-08:00Thanks for the recap!

I still support Sam.<BR/><BR/>That being said, I think it's interesting that people forget that successful politicians, no matter what policy positions they take, are successful largely because they are in fact charming and personable people. The few politicians I've met who I disagreed with, even disagreed strongly, have all been friendly and pleasant in person. It's what they do, and it's the biggest tool that lets them do it. Don't mistake ideology for personality.Brian Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454291070572658715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680617577121211502.post-62885362696408023362009-02-23T14:57:00.000-08:002009-02-23T14:57:00.000-08:00Great article, Hollie - thanks for the scoop!Great article, Hollie - thanks for the scoop!crunchysuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987071194979739309noreply@blogger.com
