Then, there's the phone banks to get out the vote...the sort of work that unions used to supply. It's just past 10 am here and I've already had three election phone calls, all computerized and pre-recorded. More than this, I can look back on the dozens we've gotten over the past few weeks and can't recall a single damned one of them placed by a human being volunteering to help a campaign this way. A few were real people on the line, but they were taking one of those fake polls for one campaign or another, and they were under contract.
. The Rethuglicans are running computerized messaging banks with Democratic candidates messages, over, and over, and over, and... until you don't want to vote demoncrat, you want to strangle one. The surveyors? They don't even kinow who they're working for... telemarketing operation. Again, not EVERY single one (I'm going to ignore that straw argument from this point forward), just what the Rovebots think will be enough for an edge. Yup... Those messages are often as real as the documents on the 'Nuke Site"[tm]. Leigh
