1. I haven't had a one...
Just lots of e-mails from the Dem and Progressive activists warning me about them.

15. I am officially jealous.
However, I got calls from Eliot Spitzer, Wes Clark, Pete Seeger and Kirsten Gillibrand. So there! Plus, I am off in a few minutes to see the Big Dawg at the Glens Falls airport.
I can't wait til tomorrow night! Plus, my republican neighbor down the street took down her Sweeney sign! Yee haw!

No GOP calls but I did get a letter form Mayor Bloomberg.

42. I got that one too...
twice. I wasn't initially sure it was her...she never actually said it was her...or if she did my answering maching cut that off. But she and the pretzeldent wanted to remind me to vote for "strong republicans". *snort*

If they want to waste time and money calling me...:shrug:

60. I could get one of those. I live in Hastert's district.
I've never seen Hastert put out as much advertising as in this election. They're a little nervous out here, I think. I'll probably get a robo-call from the Republicans. They've stopped calling me with humans. They don't like me much after the first few seconds.

Both stumping for the DCCC and Bruce Braley. There may have been more, but they only let the phone ring about two or three times before moving on.

31. Bill Clinton, Robert Redford, and the usual local politicos -
Gary Locke, Christine Gregoire, Patty Murray, Maria Cantwell.

The call usually gets as far as "Hi, This is (state your name here)..." before I hang up or delete the message from the machine. I *really* hate these calls, and wish that they could find a way to ban them. I already voted - I don't need 4 to 6 calls a day telling me to vote.

If I hadn't already voted, the sheer volume of these calls might be enough to turn me off on voting, just to stick it to whoever thought this was a good idea. It must be a republic party plot to keep us from voting :silly:

Edited on Mon Nov-06-06 05:35 PM by windbreeze
and last pres election I phone banked....sorry...won't do it again...I didn't know whether to feel more sorry for the people I was calling or myself for the verbal abuse I took....some were voluntarily turning off their phones until after it was over, and I think it's shameful that they were driven to take that action...It gets to be too much, and I feel it turns people off...who wants to get calls from strangers day in and day out...I know when I am on the receiving end, I get sick of running to answer the phone...

33. I don't know if I've received any or not. For the last couple of
weeks I've been using caller ID to screen my calls. If a name or a familiar phone # doesn't show up, I just don't answer. I guess you'd call it voter fatigue. I don't feel I'm missing out on anything since I've already voted (straight Democrat) and nothing I might have heard would have changed my vote anyway.

37. Bill Clinton. But I live in an area where all the elected officials- even
6 out of 8 city council seats and mayor, etc. are all Democrats, so I usually don't get too many of these calls.

I get more calls wanting us to help GOTV.
