Over at TNR's The Plank, Josh Patashnik notes that Mitt Romney is offering a "holiday package" for a $250 contribution that includes a "downloadable phone message of Mitt answering your voicemail using your name."
Patashnik then asks "Can you imagine what kind of great holiday gift package Dennis Kucinich or Fred Thompson could put together??"
In fact, Kucinich has apparently been quite available by phone for free for some time (by contrast, the Mitt message is only available if your name is on the master list). Back in June, my friend Ben Fritz reported on an email a Hollywood character actress sent to her friends and acquaintances that included this offer:
Dennis has asked me to give him phone numbers of my pals, so that he can make a personal call to you, in order to hear your concerns, and answer your questions. Forty years in politics, and being in touch with his feminine side, gives Dennis a distinct advantage to truly change direction in our beloved country...
If you are interested in participating in the 2008 elections, and wish to talk with Dennis personally, please send me one of your phone numbers, and I will pass it on to him.
Anyone want to see if they can get him on the phone? I bet an inquisitive caller could do it in less than 24 hours...
