Democrats look like they are "bothering" people and turning off the voters. I don't like unsolicited calls so I can see how people would get angry. Our problem is that the people called are not informed about the R's doing this. Damn it.

1. I'm worried as well.
They'll do anything to hang onto power.

2. Have caller ID?
If there is a concern, the logical thing to do is to trace the call back to the folks who sent it.

If the evidence reveals itself, a damning, incontrovertible case can be made.

9. The NH Robocalls came from bogus numbers.
The NH Robocalls came from bogus numbers:

o 603-000-0000

o 000-000-0000

o And good old "unavailable".

It looks like they deliberately misprogrammed their PBX to
hide the Caller-ID info.

4. Guess we'd better get a Republican Robot...
to start making mass calls (such that we cannot be caught--just like the Republicans). Only, I want access to that secret Homeland Security/Telco phone calling system that dials every number in an entire region at once (or, at least in large sequential groups).

Then again, I'd never want to Stoop so low as the Republicans... one is liable to get things like Dog Poop in one's nose going that low.

5. everyone gets calls before elections--how many are influenced by it?
it's slimy (surprise!) but it's not going to change people's minds.

8. The calls at 2 AM, midnight, etc.? Twelve to 15 in a row? It's a problem
for us.
