National scrutiny: Not fun
by Matt Comer, April 27, 2008, 1:24 pm
The N.C. Primary campaigning is in full swing.
Everyone knows I’m a person with a reputation for going head-first into any adventure of mine. How ironic that my first journalism/media job puts me smack-dab in the middle of LGBT political coverage of the N.C. Primary… in a year where our wonderful state isn’t ignored as it is in almost every election year.
National scrutiny isn’t going to be fun and I have a sense I’ll be getting complaints from all sides of all issues over the next week and a half. In fact, I already have.
Stress? No, not at all! There’s no stress here.

Take care, friend, and keep your sense of perspective – in 10 years, nobody’ll remember any of it anyway. *grins* You’ll do great – I’ve got faith in your abilities and your judgment, even when we disagree on the issues. Best wishes.
