&lt;p&gt; I will never forget what you've done on these great job.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On those monthes,every morning and evry night I checked your blog and the readers comments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; It’s ameging for me ,who was growing up in Japan, to know the lots of real voices of &amp;nbsp;the citizens from all over the USA(maybe from all over the world). &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your blog made me growing up!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can not wait I will to see your articles in any media.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have FUN!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From Japanese NewYorker.&lt;/p&gt;

So thanks for writing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This was my favorite blog for the election. I thoroughly enjoyed contributing to it. You showed a lot of maturity and professionalism during such a stressful time. I will be on the lookout for what you do in the future. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best wishes. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But I thought Stumper had a girlfriend. &amp;nbsp;Isn't her proposal the one you want?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Best of luck!&lt;/p&gt;

Your columns have been interesting and informative. I enjoyed responding to them. Watch out for those lesbians in your neighborhood. Do they hang out at street corners and shout catcalls at young cute guys like you? I hope not! Take care and try to move more in the conservative direction. Start by reading Edmund Burke, Adam Smith, Thomas Jefferson, Aristotle &amp;amp; St Thomas Aquinas (my personal favorite)! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Any chance your boss would let you continue, at least through the transition?&lt;/p&gt;

You DEFINITELY took alot of slack from your passionate readers, but I'm sure you would not have had it any other way, thank you for keeping your mettle through the election. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Tweny years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you did not do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;May the road rise up to meet you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; May the wind be always at your back,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; May the sun shine warm upon your face&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
