The one time I said, I don't like this man anymore (5.00 / 1) (#24)
by BarnBabe on Thu May 08, 2008 at 08:35:56 AM EST
The nice Southern Drawl, you don't? He is the sweetest man in the world. I said, so was my x-husband, in public. Ha. The next time I just answered, NO WAY. End of conversation. So now I know I will be expecting some calls soon. I can be prepared. And nice answers for Hillary. With the DNC, it is, don't bother me until you seat Florida and Michigan.And now I can add and get rid of Donna too.

I can see you have a lot of experience in this. I do use my google e-mail address. Just cleaned 150 e-mails out of it yesterday. Click, click, click. Delete.

No Integrity (none / 0) (#50)
by Athena on Thu May 08, 2008 at 08:48:56 AM EST
The Dems on the verge of a nominee who's willing to sneak into the convention with just 48 states?  No thank you.

A candidate with integrity would not accept a nomination with less than the entire country's votes.

But that's not Obama.  He's counting on all the powerbrokers of the party to wrestle a nomination for him, however they can.  48 states?  An asterisk on the process?  No problem.

I got a call from (none / 0) (#63)
by magisterludi on Thu May 08, 2008 at 08:54:01 AM EST
the Obama campaign Tuesday. Caught me totally off guard. I just blurted out "No, No, No!" and hit the end button. I actually regret it, too. There was no reason for me to be rude to the caller. My bad.

I had the Amy Winehouse CD on and it was right at the part of No No No.  Maybe I should just keep that part for the phone. Ha. "They tried to make me vote Obama. I said, No No No." I would at least have some fun with it.

... cold, but it's not even dead.  

  I go easy on direct-callers that somehow make it through with surveys, while keeping it short.  I know they're probably supplementing income and hoping to get by, so I let them know I don't want to waste their time but I hope they meet a quota with people more into this.  It usually works, as they don't want to waste good time either.

  It reminds me of when Obama didn't want to pose for a picture for a pushy blue-collar worker because, his staff said, the guy was an ebay seller.  WELL, in Ohio, some people have to make-do, and ebay selling is just a way to work and make some money from it.
