The understatement of the day? The week? The month? The year? My life time?

So be it that I'm a simple talker
--Sarah Palin talkin simple to Rush

Dear John McCain,

Please stop paying people to call my house. And if you do keep paying them to call, at least instruct them to converse with the people they call rather than speed-read through the script you've given them. It kind of provides a human touch, you know -- human interaction. If that's too touchy-feely for you, though, just pay for someone to record a message and have a computer dial voters up. It's just as annoying and I bet will be just as effective as having real people play the role of the computer. Plus, it'll save you a few bucks in the long run.

And while were talking about saving bucks, don't you think it would make more sense to target an area other than my neighborhood? Seriously, if you think people in this neighborhood will vote for you in numbers that justify using your campaign resources on these phone calls, maybe you should start shifting resources to New York and California as well, because you stand just as good a chance of winning there as you do here. Listen, I know that people have been saying that Minnesota is a swing state but I think that was just big talk from your pal and former VP hopeful, Tim Pawlenty, trying to make you think picking him for the ticket would pull in our electoral votes. It was a nice dream, but taking Minnesota just ain't going to happen. At least not this year.

Look, you and I both know that whether your employees keep calling me or not, I'm not going to vote for you. So find somewhere else, like Burnsville or Eagan or Edina where maybe they'll listen and save us both some time and aggravation. Thanks

Hugs-n-kisses,
Jan Radder
