gotten any GOTV robocalls?

just a robocall from AFL-CIO on my landline, some initiatives on the ballot but the incumbents are certain to keep their positions in their gerrymandered districts, Dems didn't have run a candidate in the only statewide office up (state auditor)

The only question is how long it will take all parties to realize that too much is too damn much.

I turned the ringer off. You want to reach me? Call my cell phone, because the butthead politicians keep calling me every five minutes on the land line.

(Live calls from a vol/staffer, not robocalls). There's a science behind this and they do change votes. A good phone program can be enough to flip a close race.

Have you turned off the ringer on the land line because every five minutes it is some political pitch.

One from someone in the Virginia Dem. party (Assistant D.A.?) for Lawrence Gaughan, our Dem running for the House, and one from Mark Warner, running for reelection to the Senate.

President Obama called work, but no one had time to talk to him

I got a mailing from "Ready for Hillary" that I haven't opened yet. I'm only going to be ready for her if she's our party's nominee. Not before.
