In the last 10 hours, I've gotten 20 voicemails from political campaigns... 15 for Elizabeth Dole, 2 for Pat McCrory, 1 for Barack Obama (and they got my name wrong!), 1 for some no-name judge, and 1 anti-union.

15 phone calls from one candidate isn't likely to make me more willing to vote for that candidate. Oy.

It seems there is something to be said for being unaffiliated.
I haven't gotten a single one of these types of phone calls.

11/3/2008 6:26:29 PM

I'm just glad that I have my home phone (Vonage) forwarded to voicemail.

11/3/2008 6:28:57 PM

I got an e-mail with a WAV file attached each time. Makes it easy to ignore the phone call, and still keep up.

11/3/2008 6:46:07 PM

I haven't gotten anything except Obama messages.

11/3/2008 6:47:38 PM

0 VMs and 0 snail mail flyers

i think i've gotten a forest's worth of mailings from various parties, most of them republican. given that i'm a registered democrat, i'm not sure what they're hoping to achieve.

11/3/2008 6:55:55 PM

how the fuck are you getting all this spam?

I haven't been contacted by either campaign... but then again, I'm registered as an independant

The only thing I can figure is that I've owned my home for a few years, and I've maintained a landline phone number.

11/3/2008 6:58:23 PM

ron paul came to my house and gave me some strawberry preserves

11/3/2008 6:59:36 PM

wait, they do voicemail on landlines now?

I haven't had a land line since I had dial-up internet

11/3/2008 7:00:44 PM

Vonage, yo.

11/3/2008 7:02:41 PM

I've gotten no phone calls, but several mail flyers from various candidates.

11/3/2008 7:09:13 PM

lots of phone messages here too...

two today from the same fire chief endorsing the same people, but with two different voices, was very very odd...then another from Michael Waltrip, the Nascar driver, endorsing someone else...
