Making the Sale

Apparently some candidates for the Kennedy Senate seat believe that the telephone is a good way to sell their candidacy. Three of the four have called us over the past week or so. They have all called around 6:30 (p.m., of course), which is a perfect time to interrupt our after-dinner conversation. These calls have been very short as I hang up almost immediately.

I'm sure that they do make some sales, but at what cost. I'm talking about more than dollars and cents. I'd bet that more of these calls result in lost rather than won sales. You have to wonder particularly about the candidate who boasts of his business credentials. Is this an example of his business acumen?
