The phone rang at my house last night and the person on the other end of the line wanted to know who I plan to vote for in the March 11th special election. 

“I’m not telling you!” was the response.

When I asked who was calling, the young man tried to get off the phone quickly.  I told him that was rude, especially since he called me.  I then inquired as to which candidate he was working for, André Carson or Jon Elrod.  He said Elrod, and read a short listing of what the Republican stands for.

This is how Jon Elrod is spending his campaign funds, trying to target individual voters through phone calls and direct mail rather than using television in a mass appeal for votes. 

Before my phone call ended the young man asked one more time if I planned to vote for Jon Elrod.  I finished the call by telling him that I will moderate the debate between Elrod and Carson this evening (MyNDY 7:30 pm) and, I said, he should tell Jon to ask me then.
