Anyway, we got the Ayers robocall on our voicemail in Colorado yesterday. I saved it for my wife. She was aghast (we moved from Chicago since the previous election). I was more bemused than anything.Well, the one thing about the robocalls: can they really work the word terrorist in more often? When in American politics has calling someone close to terrorists ever been close to being par the course?
My question: Do these things work? I would suspect that they rile up the opposition supporters as much as anything, especially in an information-saturated environment like the current one.
(And as purely anecdotal evidence to convince you to move Colorado to lean Obama, my bus ride home takes me from an up-and-coming trendy part of Denver, through several very wealthy neighborhoods, to a more middle class suburb-in-a-city neighborhood on the south edge of the city. As of yesterday, the sign count was 17 Obama houses and 3 McCain houses.)
Put it this way: I know some RNC staff members who aren't proud that their committee is being associated with calls, but fear has prevailed upon their bosses.
