It appears that I’m not the only person who gets extremely irritated with robocalls in general (and not just the dirty-tricks tactics the GOP has been using in the past few days).
However, TPM Muckraker quotes a TPM reader who reported on an interesting byproduct of that phenomenon:
just got a call in CT from a Mr. Gallo of the, i think, CT State Central Republican Committee. It was something like that. It was from the republican state senate scommitte i think. I think gallo said he was some kind of leader. The poll identified itself pretty quickly as being from a republican group, and then it went on to promise that if you vote republicans then they would stop the robocalls.
Isn’t that kind of missing the point?
