There have been many diaries regarding your mother these last two days here at DKOS. Many here vigorously disagree that she should be considered as a Vice Presidential candidate. That is to be expected.
One theme that has emerged has drawn your name into the fight. That is wrong. I wish to tender my own apology for this, and to provide a space for other kossacks to show we are not against you.
I have already broken several rules here at DKOS today, and this is one of them. I may be vilified. I may be insulted. I may lose my new TU (trusted user) status. That is okay, because I asked for it. I put myself into the conversation.
Many angry things will be said to and about your mother. Some will be true, some will be exagerations, some will be lies and speculation brought about in the heat of the moment. I am sure she expects this and, while it is too much to expect her to like it, it is the price she is willing to pay.
You, however, should not have to bear the burden. You are an innocent. You are a child, although I doubt you think that way yourself. It is not you who is running for office, it is your mother.
I offer my sincere apology to you. I can only imagine the pain that will come from having your name and your personal business, true or untrue, broadcast in a national medium. It is not something that you should ever have to go through, and you should not be expected to know how to fight back.
I have included a poll so that you and everyone else can see, by number if not by name, just how many here at Daily Kos have your back. Not your mom's, but yours.
God bless you and keep you.
[The pie reference is traditional DKOS fodder. It is used by people who either feel the poll does not adequately reflect their opinions, who have no opinion, or who are showing general disdain for the whole concept]
