Is Arianna message more or less effective since her run for office?

As I read the linked article I realized that I had not read one of her articles since her foray into elected office. At one time I never missed her weekly articles.

Did her political loss and sometimes negative exposure marginalize her message?

I think Arianna is more effective, having actually run for office and seen what it takes to raise money, get out a message and manage a campaign. And while her campaign may have generated some negative exposure, I felt that the response was overwhelmingly positive. She temporarily crossed the line from commentator to politician and I believe her columns have gained perspective because of it.

Have you always supported her work?

Cricket,
I've liked a couple of the columns since then. She was on hiatus for quite awhile post run. I think there's only been 4 since then. Are you on the emailing list? Have you read any of them?

I have not always supported Arianna'a work, though I did support her run for governor. I became a fan of Arianna's when I felt she became more progressive. I have, though, always enjoyed her sense of humor.
