A Post From Papa

Hey, Chlo. C’mon. You weren’t expecting the Columbus Dispatch mail poll to be anywhere near accurate, anyway, were you? I mean, I’ve heard of ‘vote by mail’, but at least there are some controls on that. Talk about losing complete control of your sample – just who is it sitting there at the kitchen table filling out, and then copying, those survey forms, all the while fudging the number system on their personal computer? No one knows? And who thinks color coding is the key to accuracy? It probably worked great – 50 years ago. But Chlo, you need to take it down a thousand – no one is worried about the impact of the Dispatch poll, anyway, coming as it did so many months before anyone is paying attention, and besides, you need to start thinking about the hurdles ahead – like strained peas in those cute little jars: yummy! (your dad paid me to say that).
At least you can rest easy knowing our latest Zogby Interactive survey has Blackwell down just four points, about the same as most recent reputable polls - and no one even knows Strickland – yet.
By the way, I noticed you haven’t responded to my emails, but I need to know – do you want your golf club headcovers to be knit or leather? My Nike discount ends soon. And yes, the consensus of the panel of pro golfers I’ve consulted is, you are going to have to weaken your grip or risk hooking everything into left rough. Sorry.

Love, Papa.
