Oh if ONLY it was the postcards... How about the annoying pre-recorded phone messages! I pick up my cell (with area codes obviously from my vicinity, thus confusing me into thinking that its someone I know possibly calling from a different phone)... only to be greated by the poorly recorded voice of the candidate- or worse, just an audio file of their TV campaign ad.(again which sounds like it was recorded off a 1982 Sony Trinitron).
Couple that with the level of mail one receives (in triplicate if they DARE to take an interest in politics and join a party)... and you've got a main reason that people get so easily turned off by election season.
Ms. Pressler is a New Yorker who, years ago after attending a marvelous staged reading of Sondheim's Anyone Can Whistle, thought it would be most hilarious if she were mayor and made everyone refer to her as The Mayoress. The nickname stuck. She works as a marketing consultant and in her spare time, volunteers on campaigns and runs a lot. She likes the arts, marathons, SVU, hip hop, opera, brunch, the Obamas, WNYC, style, fun events, and people who read her blog.
