Every now and then, the man, the myth, the legend, our friend, former RNC eCampaign Director Cyrus Krohn (@CyrusK), emerges to pass along a few nuggets of wisdom and more intel on why he straight up bolted DC.

Of note, today he was interviewed at National Journal Online where he heaped porridge for his successor, New Media Director Todd Herman:

But I do want to say that my successor, Todd Herman, who is overseeing new media at the RNC, is somebody I've known for a number of years. He'll do an exceptional job. I couldn't be happier with the fact the RNC hired Todd. He's one of the brightest people I know, and I think you'll see wonderful things coming out of the RNC in the coming years as he acclimates himself to the system.

On advice for Todd, Cyrus says:

I don't have any advice for my successor. Frankly, he's smarter than I am. [Laughs] He'll do a wonderful job. Maybe the best thing he could do at the committee would be to help temper Chairman Steele's comments when he feels he needs to speak freely.

Cyrus, we miss you buddy. As always, our blog is open to you for a guest or regular post. However, it's great to see that you're confident -- as those of us who have met and worked with Todd agree -- in your successor.

Onward to 2010 (and 2009 in VA and NJ ;).
