I was just called by "Idaho for Obama"
3 Oct 2008 | Jeff Head

I just received a phone call froma woman who announced herself as calling for "Idaho for Obama".

I decided to listen to what she had to say as I had never had such a call before and I wanted to try and find out what she was really about.

She said that they were calling to encourage everyone to vote this election and was I aware that in Idaho we could all vote by mail.

I indicated that I would be voting at the polls since I was not needing to vote absentee and would be in town.

She indicated that I could vote by mail whether I was going out of town or not and that they would be happy to send me a ballot.

I replied that, no, that would be alright since I would be voting at the polls, and then I asked her how she had come to call my home in any case.

She replied that they were calling everyone in Idaho and then asked if I had just said that I was voting Republican.

I replied that I hadn't said who I was voting for, but that since she asked that there was no way under the sun that I would ever vote for anyone like Obama who had the willful, long term, anti-American associations that he had, or held the views on foreign affairs, the economy, abortion, or the 2nd amendment that he held.

She immediately thanked me and then hung up.

Anyone else receiving such calls?

This was an odd call...and left me feeling that somehow these people are violating ethical, if not legal rules regarding influencing the vote.

In any case, if Obambi thinks he can win Idaho, well, let’s just let him keep thinking it.

If they really knew how to do microtargeting ala Karl Rove, you never would have received that call.

Happened to me here in Indiana.

They caught me in a bad mood, if you know what I mean.

Vote by Mail is a VERY easily corrupted system. Oregon does the same thing. THe Vote by Mail thing is a total fraud on the voters.

I got a call on my CELLPHONE from the Obama Campaign in PA yesterday! I missed the call and the caller ended up in my voicemail and left a long message with the PA campaign number. I called back and reemed them out for calling my cellphone (they claimed they didn’t know how they ended up with my number), than I gave them an earfull as to why I would NEVER vote for a pathetic terrorist sympathizing thug like B. Hussein Obama. I felt much better after I hung up :)

Idaho for Obama..??

Michele called you?

I am getting plastered wall to wall with Obama ads. Everywhere you turn, 24 hours a day. I can’t seem to get away from it. Anytime now, the 527’s will kick in and really drive me batty.
