Dear Ed O'Reilly:
I'm all for the democratic process -- really, I am -- but you have got to step aside.
I know it's not fair. I'm sorry. But if you took Kerry's senate seat, Massachusetts would be fucked. Like, for real.
Here's why: Ted Kennedy is knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door. Heaven forfend, but facts are facts. If you oust John Kerry, we'd end up, in effect, with two junior senators (although one would be a senior senator on a technicality).
Do us all a favor, would you? Get the hell out of Kerry's way. We need someone with pull pulling for us in Washington. Kerry's got it. You don't. You might have it some day, but you don't just yet.
Now, when Ted bites it, I'm all for you running for the open seat. I'm not going to work for your campaign or anything because, if your Web site is any indication, you're a bit of a clown, but I wish you godspeed in your quest. In the meantime, I'm throwing my spare time behind getting you the hell out of the race come primary time in September.
Please take the extra time you'll have now to hire a writer who has some marketing acumen to rewrite your Web site. Sweet God! Your pandering is so obvious that it's painful to read. You're going to have to get better at subtly playing to the crowd if you want to win Ted's seat.
Sincerely,
-Jennifer Myszkowski
