It's nearly time for me to lose what's left of my free time to campaigning. For some reason it feels like I just did this less than a year ago...
Anyway, I'm curious what you guys think about the actual calls you receive regarding elections. I know some can be incredibly annoying (when they launch into a canned speech without letting you speak), and I've also known some people who were very persuasive without being in your face too much.
I've been reading various political threads here and you guys' opinions are pretty solid. Do you hate campaign calls in general, or just some of them? Do you prefer to listen to a script, or ask questions and actually have a conversation with the caller? Is call 'customization' based on the voter's region (i.e. focus on relevant issues) a good idea or hit and miss (people sometimes feel it's condescending)? Are there any calls you've received that stand out in your mind?
Parties are irrelevant here, I'm just trying to get a feel for a group I haven't talked to before (people who are actually open and accepting... what a concept). Any thoughts are appreciated! :smile:
