A first in a series of chats with NPR's very own swing voter. Commentator John Ridley is still undecided.....Except that Ridley has not had much problem deciding who to give his money to. He dropped a cool $500 into John Kerry's coffers in March according to Open Secrets and Fund Race 2004. Open Secrets also has him tossing Wes Clark $500 in January.

Boy it's been awhile since I've sent out anything to the NPR/PBS list. If any newbies want on the list, just let me know.

To opt on or off my *NPR/PBS* Ping list please Freep mail me. Don't be shy! This is a low to moderate activty list.

HERE IS THE EMAIL I SENT TO THE OMBUDSMAN OF NPR:

Dear Ombudsman,

Is this true?

A first in a series of chats with NPR's very own swing voter. Commentator John Ridley is still undecided.....Except that Ridley has not had much problem deciding who to give his money to. He dropped a cool $500 into John Kerry's coffers in March according to Open Secrets and Fund Race 2004. Open Secrets also has him tossing Wes Clark $500 in January.

If this is supposed to be a "first in a series", did NPR plan to use this partison Democrat as their "undecided voter" and lead the public along until just before the eleciton before the "undecided voter" finally decided to vote for Kerry? WHAT HOGWASH!

NO ONE gives $1,000 to the Democrat Party and then sudeenly becomes "undecided". Can't NPR find a real "undecided voter"?

This SHAM can't be allowed to continue.

Fix it will ya!

Doug mmmmmmm

Perhaps NPR will be able to track down Mr. Greg Packer- the "man on the street".

Remember him?

Anyone heard from "Greg Packer" lately?

I wrote a letter to NPR about this. You can too:

ombudsman@npr.org

Remember, a polite, cogent letter can get things done.

And be sure to tell them how to pronounce your name! ;>)

Undecided voter means he has not decided which JFK to support, but, leans to the Rats. I am not surprised in the least at this.

They should use me as their undecided voter.

I have not decided whether to vote for George W. Bush in the morning or in the afternoon.

I am leaning toward morning right now though.

Why write them a letter? They don't care what any conservatives think. Besides, who listens to them anyway?

The NPR ombudsman doesn't give a rat's hiney...

My thoughts exactly.

Killer tagline, BTW.
