To the Editor:

These days of unprecedented uncertainty call for hard work laced with a touch of good old American optimism. An optimism that draws its strength from the potential of the American spirit — grounded in the present day concerns and values of friends and fellow citizens. I see that potential in Chris Lyddy. He’s got my vote and I hope he’s got yours. Vote Lyddy 2008.
