Katie,

I haven't read all your articles I admit, but the ones I have read were well done and informative.  I am not trying to bash you by no means, but I do request that you make them a little more informative. You are learning your job very well and are well one your way to a pulitzer prize one day.  I have read alot of these posts, and can say that the posters don't fully understand how education operates. Educational institutions teach doctrine not job expierence. Keep on the the right track, your doing well.

Regarding your Coakley-Brown post election analysis: With all due respect. Your article is comparable to a Facebook post and over the last 24 hours I have seen some that rival this one. Ms. Connolly I worked on and ran campaigns for candidates on both sides of the aisles in Massachusetts over the years. Having grown up in the Boston area I knew after two of your very short paragraphs that you did not have enough experience in Boston to conduct an analysis on this topic and attending posh Harvard is far from the trenches of Massachusetts politics. I simply do not understand how MSNBC would post such a story that seems like you wrote it on your iPhone while riding a city bus. I suggest that you start putting out better product before your postion at MSNBC is short lived.

Katie, you're doing a phenomenal job. You offer the insight of a seasoned political reporter despite what other people (who should find better things to do than to bash journalists with reputable news organizations and who will most likely never reach your standing) say.
