Hello from Boston! This seems like something we could do as a relay, perhaps even cross border if we get those nice Canadians involved from the Boston Marathon team. I'd come out of retirement for it and I bet a lot of other Team Hoyt runners and peers (Long Brothers) would also participate.

Why do you identify as a progressive democrat in your literature rather than just a democrat?

I live in your former state of Massachusetts where it's difficult to tell the difference between different candidates, yet many have been hesitant to embrace more specific labels.

Do you feel that McCain-Feingold had the desired effect to reduce soft money on the Hill? I was also a Senate staffer in the 90's. I've thought that it really pushed it from being open and obvious to being shady. For example, pre-reforms, I could eat three meals a day funded by various groups, but there were signs, labels, names on tote bags - it was very open. I knew who was trying to buy my opinion on a given day.

Thanks for doing this AMA.
