Gentlemen,

Much enjoyed your program tonight which I feel was fairer than previous ones where you discussed Governor Sarah Palin. Whether you like her or not doesn’t matter, and she’s certainly not above criticism.
I think those who will vote for Obama are romantics who believe in magic and have a predisposition for betting on an inside straight.

Cordially,
