And I'm impressed not only by his gesture toward his fellow candidate, but also by his mom's taking the time to tell you. Sometimes I worry about a kid and parenting culture that feels hyper-competitive. It's nice to see kind things happening and celebrated. Enjoy the sweet taste of victory! :) I’m proud of Chase and I don’t even know him.

Thanks for reminding me. My own mother was never a very emotional person, so I don't know how she felt about the whole thing (proud, I'm sure, and relieved after all the hours she helped me making hand-made posters), so Chase is lucky to have this personal memento from you.

Can't imagine any adult candidates doing that, ever. Charlie and Chase have put a smile on my face this morning. Truth in advertising! And congratulations to both of them.
