I have great respect for anyone who tosses their hat in the ring and runs for office. From local election to the national stage, it's a hard tough and not very pleasant road complete with too many hours of travel and too many meals out of a bag.

Let's take a quick review of what happened to Ellen last time, the lessons she learned and how she's going to apply her learning. I had a very enjoyable conversation with her yesterday as she headed to her native Cleveland from Phoenix.
