Hold the phone

If you are a regular voter, you might want to unplug your phone for the next couple of days. The autocalls are in full swing. I received two yesterday within a few minutes of each other. One from Senator Herb Kohl and one from Rep. Dave Travis' primary challenger Henry Sanders.

The call from Sanders was amusing to me because the whole time Milt McPike (the speaker for the call) is talking there is a large grandfather clock going off in the background. It's pretty hard to even hear what he is saying with all the chimes and gongs going off through the call.

Kohl's running scared.

No robocalls from my campaign. Ever.

Sorry Ben, Kohl is not running scared. In fact, he could do zero campaigning from this point on and still win.

Robocalls are part of campaigns now. They are part of campaigns because they work. Everyone says they hate them, but if they didn't work, campaigns wouldn't do them. Same goes for 'negative' ads.
