I believe that Ms. Henry-Blythe is very knowledgeable about the
issues, cares deeply about solving them, offers thoughtful approaches 
to confronting them, and has specific ideas about turning her approaches 
into reality.  I would be interested in hearing Mr. Melendez's
analysis of why she didn't receive his party's endorsement.
