Re-reading that email, it was clearly a form letter designed for responding to snail mail. I diagnose laziness: nobody in his office bothered to write two different form letters with different content for email and for snail mail. Either that or the mix-up that the first commenter suggested. Hmm… Re-reading that email, it was clearly a form letter designed for responding to snail mail.

It's who can run for office in the first place. Generally, in elections you get to choose between two to six clueless people/platforms, out of which two or three have disproportionately great propaganda resources and so are always going to outclass the rest. With equal air time laws having been abolished, this problem is only getting worse in the US. So I find it hard to blame the voters. I don’t think the problem is just that people vote for those guys.

That's wacky, but maybe someone in the office got mixed up about who they were replying to. Sorry, Bryan, I missed that you’d sent an email.
