I'm so sorry to bring this news........actually I'm kind of astonished that I'm the first one.
I'm so very very sorry.............I'm breaking my longtime lurking status to bring you this MOST unhappy news. It breaks my heart, for sure. Steve was one of my heroes. He was a voice which I am so unhappy has been now silenced.
I've been a member of DailyKos for a long time...........I love you guys. Just never had it in me to jump in to the daily fray and post. But with this, I found the inspiration. Steve should inspire us all. He was one of the great ones, and I'm oh so sorry he's gone.
