Here's a real contrast in contests

I just received an invitation to contribute to the Hillary campaign. I received a similar offer from the Edwards campaign awhile back. Each offers a contest to contributors. (Three winners for Clinton, five winners for Edwards).

Here's how the contests play out:

If I'm the lucky winner of the Clinton event, I will sit with former President Bill Clinton as he oohs and ahs his wife's performance in an upcoming debate. I'm promised he'll share a bowl of chips with me.

Should I be a winner in the Edwards event, I'll work next to Senator Edwards, helping to rebuild someone's home, offering a victim of Hurricane Katrina a bit of hope for some normalcy in his/ her life.

So...Chips and gab? Or good works?

Tough call.
