So....those reasons above pretty much sum up my situation. Consequently, no matter how salacious the mud slinging.....it does strike a nerve if the allegations are true. It would definately cause me to vote against somebody...not necessarily vote for somebody.

The letter invites the reader to fact check his allegations. If untrue or unfounded, it will come out and he will lose all credibility. So, if some find it to be a drunken, desperate rant....I find it to be informative. How many pilots will actually vote this time....will it sway the election?

WTFK.
turnout is always awful here. I think that letter is a lose lose. If you win the election, you look like a bitter mud slinger. If you lose, you look like sour grapes desperation.
