You'd Think a Billionaire Like Bloomberg Could Afford Better Spokesmumblers
I'm not a management type by any stretch of the imagination but I think if I was hiring people to call voters and spread the word I'd at least make sure that they had some command of the language. Just because that's what you need to effectively convey a message. Which is what this didn't do:
In fact, the Mike for Mayor campaign has been working extra hard to lose my vote; calling repeatedly despite the fact I'm on the Do Not Call list and have been for years. I mentioned that fact to one caller who replied, "I did not know that." He didn't bother to take me off the list though, because Mumbles called the next day and left this gem.
Just this morning I received another call prompting me to give them an ultimatum: If they call again, I'll be voting for the other guy. Whoever the hell he is.
