9. I listened to this twice and here are my observations.
1) The woman had someone video tape this - likely not telling the preson on the other side.
2) The Obama supporter was a very polite guy making a routine call, who clearly identified himself as volunteering for the Obama campaign.
3) When she said she was not for Obama - he politely said that clearly his information is wrong.
4) She asked a leading question - Does this mean I have to go and vote for Obama - the guy answered - NO
5) She then said it was the DEMOCRAT party
6) She then came off with a torrent of accusations that, IMO, were not justified by anything he said.

My conclusion is that he was one of the many people who were calling from a list to remind Obama delegates that the caucus was coming out. This was something publicly done by the Obama camp and something 100% legitimate. From things posted here on DU, we knew that - and they clearly had given guidance on what to do when they hit a HRC person - or this guy used good judgment. (Note her question was likely designed to get a "yes, if you go you need to vote Obama" or a "you don't have to go". )

What am I missing? Does anyone else thing it weird this was video taped?
