10. She used robo-calls, too
She did automated calls on election day, from a "concerned neighbor," making some vague accusation about "my opponent." She sent out tons of mailers, too, using the "some people say" ploy to claim that surveys showed she had the better chance of winning in November. No statistics, no footnotes referencing the "survey," just a plain old load of bullshit.

She and Scott Chase both came to the precinct party I had in February. Scott Chase talked about bringing homeland security money to neighborhood groups, and train the existing crime watch groups to be first responders in case of national emergency. What a great idea! "Rosita" came late to the party, after nearly everyone had left, and talked to me about her cats. Yep, that's all she talked about, cats. She asked how many of her cats she should put in her publicity photos. I told her, "Hey, put 'em all in." I mean, the voters should know exactly what they're getting, right?

My cat ventured out to have a look at her, and ran back to his hiding place under the bed, where he stayed until she she left.

I was planning on voting for whoever won the primary, until I saw her deceptive postcards and heard her "Rovian" phone message. Now, I just won't cast a vote for County Commissioner.
