Dear John: We're sorry but this relationship just isn't working out, by The Valley News

Dear John: This isn't easy to say, especially after 3½ years. We had high hopes - we really did - that our relationship would grow stronger with the passage of time. And for a while there, back in November 2006, when the Democrats rose to power in the Legislature, we felt optimistic about our future together. But quite frankly, Governor Lynch, we feel a bit betrayed.

You said you'd work to make real progress on the issues important to New Hampshire families - improving education and all sorts of other good things. But we're beginning to think you have a problem with commitment, even ones you made.

Lately you seem distracted, conflicted. Do you have eyes on someone else? Like that Joe Kenney fellow who says he'll challenge you in November? We don't believe you're worried.

After all, they don't call you "Mr. 70 Percent" for nothing. With an approval rating like that, everyone says you're a shoo-in.
