Rich and all my fellow commenters,

I am a relative newcomer, and I do not comment regularly. I do however read the blog almost every day, and on issues important to me, I will read the comments to find out what you have to say.

I never really have followed state politics before. Now just because of this blog and all of you, I feel like I am more informed than most people.

I thoroughly enjoy reading this blog, and I enjoy reading all the comments. My gratitude goes to all of you, especially Rich. Thank you.

I’d love to meet the best political commenters around. Election night ties a lot of us up — we blew the roof off at Tammy D’s party — but any other time.

I have often said that I have the best commenters, bar none, of any blog anywhere in the country. You really make this place what it is. Thanks

This is so true! There is no other blog that even comes close. Thanks Rich for everything, and all who comment here. It’s so nice to get so many opinions, ideas, thoughts on so many topics! It keeps everyone thinking! And we need more of that!

Great party, Rich, even if I only caught the end of it. Look forward to more of those.

As one who watched much of the broadcast, Rich was in rare form towards the end. Any of us who have known Rich live in person wouldn’t think twice about it, but the NBC 5 folks were a bit uncomfortable.

I actually like the anonymity this site provides commenters…I don’t need to be PC as long as I do not cross the lines as dictated by Rich…

Though I haven’t stopped in for a while, any block that includes Rossi’s can’t be all bad. Sorry I missed the party, Rich.

“…and I’d like to thank the directors and the film crew…”

Rich: I think we owe many times more thanks to you than you do us. So I’ll make my contribution…Thank you Rich. This place is the best.

Love the blog, Rich! Hope you’ll have an open invitation for a meet & greet party to everyone who reads the blog, not just the noted (or notorious) commentors. Lots of lurkers like me would enjoy coming to the party, too!

Groucho Marx said: ” I don’t want to a member of any club that would accept people like me as a member”
So by analogy……
