No complaints here... my only comment is: "Thanks for caring enough to do what you do. And above all, keep up the great work!!!" You offer an very insightful and unique line of inquiry, one that covers those vitally important aspects of a story which often remain unseen and untouched (sadly enough.) The strong significance of what you bring to the table cannot be dismissed, and your political coverage remains singular, fresh and sharp. So again, keep up the great work!!! You ask the questions that I really wish other news people would ask (with all due respect to them... and I DO respect them), and you do it in a very clear, accessible way. I hope it isnt too mushy to say that I consider you to be a terrific asset to your field, and as an audience member, I really look forward to your reports. All the same, I would hope that the criticisms which you received were meant in good faith. I certainly can tell that the advice from Angie in WA (above) was meant in good faith, and could be helpful. And with her, I'll say for a 3rd time "keep up the good work!" Thanks Mike!

Keep doing what you're doing. Take time off and get a benefactor though, the right wing launch huge clunkers from their wingnut welfare on nothing issues.

I know that you know a lot about the Sen. & Reps. whom you are interviewing. I too would like to suggest that you memorize a couple of stock questions that you could ask most members. It would make an easy seque into the question that you would really like to ask, and as it would be out clean and quick, you won't be using any more time on your part (because I did notice that you lose a lot of time via formulating your questions). Just a thought. Keep up the good work. We're watching and listening. Mike,
