Subject: Re: Mayor Pete's NPR exit interview
Thanks for this - I'll be sure to listen to it later.

I've liked Pete since before the primaries. That doesn't mean he's perfect, that doesn't mean I have to like everything.

I feel he's - competent. I'd like to see him get more experience but I feel he's intelligent, articulate, and solid.

The partisan mud wrestling is fun but I think it's unfair to blame him OR any other party's Dept of Transportation for flight problems.

And, he doesn't have the "I'm better than you" stamp on his forehead. I hope there's more for him somewhere at some time. Trouble is, I'm not sure if people who are civil and intelligent - have a national constituency in Tribal America.
