      <![CDATA[I've had opportunity to work with both Merrifield and Littleton on separate projects; allow me to say something totally subjective and personal about the candidates in this particular race. <br>
<br>
Though we'd been introduced and sat next to each other at several meetings over the course of several months, Mike was always *so* lofty and cool towards me that at times it seemed he was looking right over me...or through me -- and yes, I *am* saying that he made me feel like I was invisible!<br>
<br>
In stark contrast, the very first time I met Peggy Littleton, she didn't talk at or over me -- rather, she spoke *with* me.  When I mentioned to her some of my struggles as a starving artist, she looked me straight in the eye and said, "I *will* help you."
