Cliniton's internal polling

[Yael]

I am now getting calls 3x a week (and again just now) from Clinton internal pollsters out of Nevada.

"May I speak with..."
You've got her.

"Quick question about the primary -- who are you planning to vote for?"
Barack Obama.

"Thank you. This call has been paid for by Hillary for President". *click*

They don't mess around. LOL!

1. I'm confused.

Is there a Nevada primary?

[VolcanoJen]

3. Yael's in Pennsylvania.

The polling firm is in Nevada. :-)

Oh and Tatiana, I'm having flashbacks too!! The Ohio calls came fast and furious and I had my ringer off for days near the end. :-)

[mod mom]

8. Lot's of folks from Obama's permanent Ohio office were going to travel to PA to

help with GOTV. Most of them had children away at college/grown. I wish I could go but have 2 youngins' to mind back at the ranch. ;)

:hi:

[VolcanoJen]

10. I can't wait to help... being in southwestern OH, PA is a little far for me....

.. but the great part is that the Kentucky and Indiana teams are just starting to get Fired Up. :-)

:hi:

15. Talked to a couple in New York today whose

daughter worked for the Obama campaign in Virginia and she'd never been interested in politics before. She's 37 and has 4 children but made time to help out his chances in Virginia and we know how that turned out.

19. I'll be working regular hours 3 days a week at their state HQ and filling in as needed.

Once the weather breaks (we're getting more snow today) I'll help to set up visiblility events. It's a great way to register new voters and get others involved.

:hi:

9. I think this is part of the reason Obama is not making a big PA push yet.

Let the Clinton campaign continue to annoy and harrass the voters.

[Yael]

4. I'm a registered Dem in PA. The calls are coming from Reno.

[writes3000]

6. Got it, got it.

Sorry. Thanks for sharing.

I have no doubt Clinton is going to try to claim the whole election rides on PA.

[VolcanoJen]

12. Oh, absolutely

"Pennsylvania Counts"

All part of the "Insult 40 States" Strategy, the "Insult 40 Superdelegates" Strategy (Bill Richardson), the "Annoy The Media With Hourly Hyperbolic Conference Calls" Strategy, and of course the "Move The Goalposts With Increasing Fervor" Strategy.

If you don't think it can get more annoying, well... :-)

[PerfectSage]

23. Don't forget the insult the caucus delegates strategy.

GObama!
Go Dean's 50 State Strategy!
Go Grassroots!

[Tatiana]

2. LMAO! Ouch! I'm having flashbacks.

Good to see you! :hug:

GOTV, and keep us over 40% in PA!

[Yael]

7. Good to see you too!!!

I have been sick the last 3 days, so no GOTV for me this weekend. :( Did go stock up the latest office and am going to call in for pizzas for them in a bit.

We have until Monday to finish voter registration drives.

16. Thank you, Yael, and get better soon.

:grouphug:

[scheming daemons]

5. I JUST GOT THAT EXACT SAME CALL 20 MINUTES AGO.....

...

...and I'm in PA.


As soon as I said Obama, I got the Hillary disclaimer and then *click*.

[slinkerwink]

11. heh

[4_Legs_Good]

13. Wow, that's interesting

I wonder why they're so curt? Just honestly trying to get numbers? You'd think they might try to sway you.

Anyway, thanks for letting us know. Must be odd to live in PA right now.

17. They are very polite! Internal polling calls are like that

Get the quick yes/no and on to the next call.

[Adelante]

14. Change your response every other call, I suggest, Yael

Since you are getting so many. It would give you a chance to know what they are telling people one time and to wave the Obama flag another.

[Yael]

18. Interesting idea!

I hadn't thought of that one.

Next call -- will tell them that I am switching to Hillary and see what they say.

Although, as these are internals, not canvassing calls -- the reaction will probably be the same. "Thanks" and *click*

[David Zephyr]

20. Thanks for the update.

:hi:

[JimGinPA]

21. Damn! I've Got That "No Solicitation" Screening From My Phone Company...

Came with the package I got and I can't turn it off, so I don't get those calls. I'd love to chat with them.


:evilgrin:

[Yael]

22. Thats why I love Vongage.

I can turn that stuff on and off via the web.

:evilgrin:

[spinbaby]

24. I got that call last night, too

Very odd.
