Give The Guy A Break?

I received a telephone call from Katie Prown late Friday afternoon.  I know...I had no idea who she was either.  But, she advised me that she was calling on behalf of Rep. Wasserman and virtually pleaded for me to permit him to participate in the 'debate' with Sen. Darling.  She apologized for him, said he had been so busy knocking on doors (up to something like 12,905 now), had received such great acceptance....blah, blah blah.  He was obviously too busy to call me himself...or too embarrassed if that is possible for a politician.

She indicated that she is his newly hired campaign manager.  Her email said, "I can assure you that you will receive prompt and timely responses in the future" and I wondered how she could assure me that he would change since she had just assumed her role, but that is for another day.  I told her that I was very disappointed in his performance to this point and that, if I relented, this would be the absolute last time there would be any slack cut for Rep. Wasserman.

She did precede the call with her email to which was attached the responses that I've sought for the past months.  I have her email address and her telephone numbers.  So, we're going to try this one more time.  The series will kick off early this coming week and I hope it will prove informative.

I decided to 'give the guy a break' since a one-person 'debate' isn't terribly stimulating for readers.
