Ms. Ivins,

Thank you.  I am so tired of hearing that the only way to get things done is to be "politic".  The article about Hillary Clinton and her run for the presidency put this in sharp focus.  Please allow me to congratulate you on this piece of writing and to thank you for your reference to Paul Wellstone.  A great man who did the right thing no matter how much it might have hurt his career.

Thank you,
Laura M. Traff
