Things People Said to Me
A sampling of the responses I received when calling voters from Obama campaign headquarters this afternoon, asking if they were registered to vote and whether we could count on their support in the Democratic primary on May 6:
"Don't ask me those kinds of questions"
"I don't want anything to do with HIM" (said in a tone of absolute disgust)
"We don't support him." Click
I'd say I encountered equal numbers of Hillarys, Baracks, undecideds, and hangups, but far more not-at-homes and disconnected numbers. But it was entertaining and I'm apparently going back for more, as they wouldn't take no for an answer.

For cold calling people, it sounds like you got some remarkably tame responses! I hope that your other adventures in the campaign office have been fun :)

Well, they did give me the Senior Citizen list.
