<p>I have stopped watching CNN since you left, and I look forward to you coming back, anywhere, …soon!<br />
Is there any possiblity of that?<br />
You were the nicest person on any of these shows.</p>
William, I love my time at CNN. Wouldn’t trade it for the world. I would want you to watch the news. Someday you might see a story that could change your life, or just simply change your mind about something. You never know. This is my home for now. And when people like you come to visit, comment, ask questions about what’s happening in health care, then maybe I can make a different kind of difference. When you vote in a poll, maybe I can get it to the right member of Congress. When you comment on a post it gives me story ideas. It’s all good.
