Perhaps now you can devote some time to helping Lena Taylor's campaign for County Executive? Check out [ www.lena2008.com ] for more info... Cheers!

What we have here is truly, “Failure to Communicate” She seems to have gone the way of fellow right wing activist mover and shaker Todd Robert Murphy. Remember Todd (my mother named me Todd Robert)? Kingmaker, avid fund raiser for political insiders, panel member on the Belling Sunday morning show, a non indicted associate of many involved in the Bielinski “affair.” Some believe he was NGRR (Not Guilty by Reason of being Republican). But back to Ms. McBride. I wonder what reason she gives the fertile young minds she fills with unbiased knowledge for her sudden cessation of blogging? This, an election year, ripe with topics for columns full of her wit, wisdom, wishing, wondering and whitewashing but little from the Mistress of Spin but an occasional Henny Youngman one- liner accompanied by a link to someone else’s work. John McCain goes from impossible recipient of the Republican nomination to the man that lost to the first African American President of the United States and Ms. McBride is not to be heard? No comment on voter fraud/voter ID, Walker vs. Taylor or Gableman vs. Butler from the Mistress of Spin? Truly, the silence IS deafening. Where in the World is Jessica McBride?

She seems to have gone the way of fellow right wing activist mover and shaker Todd Robert Murphy.

Remember Todd (my mother named me Todd Robert)?

Not just drop a campaign flyer on my doorstep, but actually take the time as you did to ask me what I thought was important. Most importantly as you mention above, you didn't pander to us simply to be agreeable. My wife and I and our two teenage children were all so impressed with how you ran your campaign and we're disappointed that you won't be able to represent us at this time. Going up against a well financed incumbent is very difficult to do. Getting the number of votes you did in spite of that fact was no small task and says a lot about you and how hard you must have worked. Please keep in touch with us as to your future plans and please consider public service in the future. You've got a talent for connecting with people, and that's something we need more of in government. Michael Mr. Cody,

I am glad that you were willing stick with your core values and NOT sell them out to get votes. Your message of moving Milwaukee County forward with progressive values and ideas is what this county needs. I look forward to help you out in future campaigns; any chance of a write in campaign? :) Dan

Throughout the whole campaign you were a gentleman and that goes to show the quality of person you are. Your thoughts on Lynne’s lack of effort as a County Supervisor have been fantastic and maybe that is why I am amazed that she still managed to get as much of the vote as she did. It was a pleasure getting to know you and hopefully we can get to know each other more in the months to come. Thanks again for running a clean and well thought campaign. Best of luck to you and your family. Dan Wycklendt Dan,

I'm proud of the way you conducted yourself...in such a professional and ethical manner. Don't let it get ya down....just consider it part of the "seasoning" process. You'll be even better for your future political endeavors! Keep up the good work! Dan,
