If the Thompson campaign did even a remotely decent job (we can’t be certain of this because they were the leavings of the major campaigns since Thompson arrived so late) then the phone list you have been calling from (assuming they gave it to you) is intended to be names they think will support their guy and your calls are supposed to get them to the polls. You don’t assign volunteers to call people and hold philosophy discussions. You assign volunteers to GOTV.
So . . . I suspect your sample is tainted. If instead they told you to start from a phone book, then . . . sorry, they are incompetent.
Your supposition is wrong. The list I have is registered Republican voters.
How is that a tainted list?
By the way, who are you supporting? Let me guess, not Fred?
