Scott Brown live robocall

By

So, I, although a college student, am home for break right now, and my mom happens to be a Republican.    So, I get calls from Scott Brown and Martha Coakley.  Recently, I got a robocall from Scott Brown, saying that he would prevent either party from having a supermajority, and reminding me the election is tomorrow.  Just one problem- it wasn’t a robocall.  It was an actual person, just reading from a script verbatim, and not engaging me at all.  I was never even asked if I’d vote or whom I would be supporting.  Perfect robocall format, but with a live volunteer.  I think this helps our chances.  I sure know Martha isn’t wasting vols to do a job that can be done by a machine.  Worst part of it was, he was almost as inarticulate as Mumbles himself.  It would have been a hell of a lot more convincing to have some endorser do it, even if it were someone like Doug Flutie or Curt Schilling.  I don’t know what they’re doing, but it sure isn’t helping them get votes

  1. I’ll tell you what is worse: receiving calls from little old ladies in California using talking points for Martha.  I conversed with both of them for 10-15 minutes just to see what I was dealing with.  Pathetic.
    After voting for Brown today, my wife and I went to the town clerk who was at the polling station to get the forms to remove our names from Democratic status to independent. I am sick of getting robo calls from Bill Clinton, Obama, Biden and Vickie Kennedy of all people.  Enough already.

    • Being registered independent means you get double the robocalls. The Brown ones are worse to me, since they’re so blatantly homophobic.

      • as a Democrat in 1960 and voted for JFK. But I have to realize that the world is different now.

        • But it’s not the world that has changed.  From your postings here, especially your support for JohnD, it’s hard for me to believe you voted for JFK.

          p>The obvious question is what qualities and values did you see in JFK that you no longer see in the Democratic Party?

          p>I’m coming from the other side: a small-l libertarian former Republican who sees the modern GOP as the party of big business and reduced individual rights (especially for gay people).  

      • You get to vote in either primary, and you can claim to not be just another Democrat, despite the very few shreds of truth to that.  Of course, I don’t have a landline…

        p>What sucks is being in a split household.  You get incessant calls for both.  I’m glad this election is over, and I’m going back to school tomorrow
