Hi Michelangelo!

I particularly enjoyed your interview with Tedra Cobb, who really impressed me. Talk about someone who is fully prepared to run for office! I truly hope that she makes it in this year, and especially against someone so despicable as Elise Stefanik.

I realize it's not going to be easy for her but I'm rooting for her AND, right after listening to your interview with her, I went ahead and sent a donation to her campaign — and I live in California!

Thanks for having her on and I hope you have her on again.

P.S. I'm hoping you might have on another New Yorker who can share A LOT about running for office: Hillary Clinton!

Ah, Zerlina and Jess just had Hillary and it was a great conversation. Yes, Tedra Cobb seems to really have the energy and the smarts to do this. And we need to get rid of Stefank.

Funny, I was just about to watch the Hillary interview on AM Joy (via DVR)! Glad to hear it was good. Thanks for all the excellent work you've been doing through all the madness, Michelangelo, especially the last couple of months — scary times! Glad you've been consistently having on (in addition to your regulars), Digby, Marcy Wheeler and Eric Boehlert. Would love to also hear more from Rachel Bitecofer (esp. now) and Seth Abramson. Oh, and, of course, always Molly.

I spent my early college years in the North Country and I have met Tedra Cobb (family friend), she is a truly amazing, intelligent candidate and I hope she kicks Elise Stefanik's a**!

Thats great to hear David. I was very impressed with her. Did you go to SUNY Plattsburgh? I spoke there once, many years ago.

Thanks Michael. I graduated from Clarkson in Potsdam and I know her through a former professor there. I once saw the Doobie Brothers at SUNY Plattsburgh (dating myself here). <G>
