4. Not yet in NH
:shrug:

I think I will as I've received them before. The "no call" list doesn't prevent this, correct?

13. Political calls are exempt from 'no call.'

5. Like a lot of people my generation, I don't have a landline, so no
and I haven't gotten any poll solicitations, either. I'm counting on the youngerish generations being undersampled in polls for that reason.

6. In Minnesota, we receive actual live people reading from a card and hanging up on you, when they're
done, which is more insulting than a robo-call. I was bombarded by them last week, but none at all this week.

10. I got one from Bob Graham urging me to vote early, does that count?
In the recording he said he was calling on behalf of FL Dems and Obama, and talked about early voting. He didn't mention repubs or McC.

11. yes
I've been receiving them for 4 or 5 days here in Colorado. They seemed to have stopped this weekend. They were the calls that have been played on MSM about Obama "palling" around with terrorists who want to kill Americans. Bill Ayers was the central figure of terror.

17. From Tom Udall, who is running for the Senate
here in New Mexico. The call was to tell me about early voting at the county fairgrounds in Santa Fe and the rally he'd be holding there. I went, voted, stayed for most of the rally.

20. yes but only for California stuff, mostly about prop 7. Last time out i got nasty robos
from city council candidates, i'm guessing this time because of the economy they don't even have that cash for those.

21. Abstain.
As I'm not an American citizen, my vote will skew the poll.
