With permission I’m reprinting an email I received from Tom Blumer, author of BizzyBlog on his retirement from blogging on the 2nd special.

Chris,

You mentioned something in a previous post that went something like “in a few days he (BizzyBlog) sets his sights on us” (as in Democrats).

Don’t worry. I’m not interested in whether Paul Hackett was a half-second late on some military maneuver or got an A-minus in boot camp. For that matter, I don’t care whether Jean Schmidt stole somebody’s boyfriend in high school or ran on the inside of a traffic cone in one of her marathons.

I started blogging the primary once I realized that Bob McEwen’s candidacy was serious, and was being supported by people who thought nothing of running over our local candidates. I was stunned at the brazen hypocrisy of his supporters and at the sheer volume of his accumulated baggage and potential conflicts of interest that were not being covered by anyone, anywhere.

With McEwen’s elimination and hoped-for retirement from Ohio politics (though, incredibly, he doesn’t seem to think so, at least publicly), I do not plan to blog the rest of the race, but instead will get back to blogging on business, personal finance, occasional politics as it affects those areas, and things that will hopefully help me grow my business and feed other web initiatives I’m trying.

But if it looks like it’s getting close in late July……..

Don’t be a stranger,

All I can say is Tom… I hope to be hearing from you again real soon.

His final reflections on the primary are available @ his blog.
