[SOUND of a fellow working a jackhammer.]

MATT
Hey, boss! Hey, boss!

[Jackhammering stops. SOUNDS of traffic continues in background.]

BOSS
What is it? I’m working here.

MATT
I just wanted to make sure we were gonna get enough time off next Tuesday to vote.

BOSS
Yeah, sure, company policy. Hey, who you voting for in the U.S. Senate race?

MATT
Well, I’m not sure. I kinda like that Amy Klobuchar, but hearing those Mark Kennedy ads, I’m not so sure.

BOSS
Look, you vote however you want, but keep in mind what my dad always said. If someone’s trying to scare you into voting for them, that’s the one you should be scared of.

MATT
I’ll keep that in mind, boss.

AMY
Hi, I’m Amy Klobuchar. My opponent, Mark Kennedy, has been using fear to get you to vote for him and against me, telling voters I’ll cut medicines out of Medicare that my own mother uses. That’s ridiculous. He also says I’ll raise your taxes. I sure don’t want to, but unless we can get these jokers in Washington under control, it may just be necessary. Wouldn’t you rather vote for someone who’ll admit it up-front, rather than hide behind euphemisms like user fees? I’m Amy Klobuchar, I’m running for US Senate, and I approve this message because I want to clean up the mess in Washington.

[Sounds of birds chirping and two people jogging.]

PAM
Hi Tanisha!

TANISHA
Hi Pam! Enjoying your jog?

PAM
Actually, I’m thinking about Tuesday’s election. I’m leaning toward Amy Klobuchar for U.S. Senate. Her dad was such a good writer, and she’s been Hennepin County District Attorney, so no one can say she’s soft on crime.

TANISHA
You know, I was leaning that way, too. But then I started reading up on her. Did you know Amy Klobuchar promised to get tough on crime, but under her watch plea bargains actually went up?

PAM
That’s news to me.

TANISHA
I like that she’s a woman, too, but you have to look at results. That’s why I’m voting for Mark Kennedy. He’s been in Congress for six years and has co-authored 20 bills with members of the other party.

PAM
But Amy Klobuchar says Kennedy is a rubber stamp for President Bush.

TANISHA
(Laughs)
Members of the same party agree a lot. Amy Klobuchar would do the same if the situation was reversed. Mark Kennedy doesn’t run away from his friends when they’re unpopular. Would you want to vote for someone who would?

PAM
Good point. Maybe I need to take a closer look at Mark Kennedy.

MARK
I’m Mark Kennedy, and I approve this message.

[SOUND of mobile phone starting up.]

PHIL
Ahh, jeez.

STEVE
Phil, what’s wrong?

PHIL
Struggling with my new wireless phone. The guy who sold it to me said I’d be able to link it with my office, but it’s been nothing but headaches.

STEVE
Really? Where’d you get it?

PHIL
Some kid in the mall. I tried calling customer service, but I was on hold forever and when I got through, the person I talked with was no help.

STEVE
Phil, you’re a business owner. Why are you trusting your company’s wireless communication needs to some kid?

PHIL
What choice is there?

[SOUND of mobile phone shutting down.]

PHIL
I give up, I’m taking this back. I need a better phone.

STEVE
