Having Bob Bennett Over for a Chat
The election to determine whether Republican Sen. Bob Bennett will get a fourth term to represent Utahns in Washington is 15 months away, but the good senator is taking no chances. He appears to be almost as aggressive now in wooing voters as when the campaign actually starts heating up next year.
Either that or Bennett is genuinely concerned about everyone's opinions on the doings in Washington, D.C.
Utahns received telephone calls Thursday evening featuring Bennett's pre-recorded voice inviting them to participate in a conference call town meeting, hosted by him and discussing the issues currently swirling around in Congress.
The recipients of the calls were told that if they are not interested, they may simply hang up. But if they wanted to participate, they could stay on the line and let their voices be heard.
Something tells me there will be many more of these things between now and, say November of 2010.
Cheers,
Paul Rolly
