I received the nicest robo-call from Hillary Clinton today.
She didn't call anyone names.
She didn't try to scare me.
She asked me to vote early and to vote for Obama/Biden and the rest of the Democratic ticket.
She tried to be helpful and tell me where my nearest early-voting site is, although she was wrong. There's one closer. But thanks, Hils. As busy as you are, I wouldn't really expect you research the location of my home so thoroughly as to know that.
Did I say she didn't call anyone names or try to scare me?
That's how you do robo-calls.

But seriously, do you think that robo-calls actually help? That kind of thing tends to really annoy me.
Also, I really don't understand how ANYONE at this point does not know who they are voting for.
Actually help? Not really, although in this case, the message attempted to help out with early voting locations. The one offered to me is about 7 miles away, while the closer one is about 2. But if I hadn't already researched this, I might have been happy to get the info.
As for the annoyance factor, that's why most people have answering machines and caller id -- to weed this stuff out. I was curious. This number had called me umpteen times and I hadn't answered, so I thought I would.

No kidding!
My significant other is a shift-worker, so these types of calls are quite bothersome in our household; no matter which party may be robo-calling. He's like me in that if he gets awakened, it can be nearly impossible to fall asleep in less than an hour. Some-
times "helpful" isn't so much.
