Eric found this on one of the blogs out there for Sam. The people who are calling for Sam to resign have already emailed and phoned in, now his base is calling and emailing to send a different message.

From an anonymous source at city hall, I just received this forwarded email:

“I took a look at TrackIT today to see how many people emailed Sam on Portland Online. Under the “just want to say hi to Sam” category, there were nearly 700 since Monday. I exported them to excel and did a little math. These numbers are approximate, as I couldn’t read every message. You can tell where they stand by the subject line in the message, and sort in that way.

1/19:
20% stay
80% resign

1/20
54% stay
46% resign

1/21
80% stay
20% resign

1/22
93% stay
7% resign

1/23 (as noon-ish)
88% stay
12% resign

There are another 228 in the “other” category.

Again, these numbers are approximate… but I think they’re telling.”

Amazing. We’re making a different, folks!

See? Pretend there’s an overwhelming number of people who say they don’t care that you jacked an election– what was the wording you used again, Sam?– oh, yes now I remember, “False pretenses,” play victim, set a bad example for the community, believe the flatterers and your ‘base’ will give you a pass.
