1. No on 8 is using Obama's actual recorded statement against Prop 8...

we also got a couple from Bill Clinton urging No. Thank you Mr. President and President-Elect!

2. what i mean

is that these folks aren't targeting these calls to repukes, but to the dem voters.

5. Everytime I watch KO and Rachel Maddow....

there are always Yes on 8 commercials and none from our side. Hopefully they're just wasting their money.

3. I got one last night that was kind of confusing.

It was a kind of sarcastic sounding woman's voice. She said something about "what Obama really thinks about Prop 8. But don't take it from me, listen in his own words." It sounded like an attack ad but then he says this really reasonable thing against 8 and it says "NO on 8" at the end. :shrug: The tone was strange and all wrong.

4. Just another example of why outsourcing is the wrong way to do it.

What campaigns and companies alike seem to forget is that the company you are paying to deliver your message or talk to your customers is that they have no interest in your interests. They are only concerned with billing you as much as possible.

Companies are finding that their customers are more upset by the outsourced agents that answer the phone than they were with the original problem that prompted the call in the first place. Smart ones are bringing it all back in house, stupid ones are losing market share to save a few bucks.

6. I must have gotten the same robocall

this AM.

It was a Yes on Prop 8 (I already voted No) but part of the audio was Obama.

7. I haven't gotten any yet, but I am screening calls with caller ID

Damn these Prop 8 people. From what I have heard the Mormon Church and the Knights of Columbus are putting a ton of money into this. The fact that there are few Mormons in California (comparatively) and Catholics are split 50/50 on the issue, I wonder about who these groups think they are representing in California.

8. I got call from an old Adventist fart who proclaimed himself my neighbor

He was touting yes on 8. I said absolutely not, and hung up. At least he wasn't a robo call. I've been having a good laugh at the yes on 8 signs around my area. The signs go up. The signs go down. The signs go up. The signs go down again. It's pretty obvious that it is one person or a limited number of people putting them up. They are all on public property and always go back up in the same place.

9. If there is one thing about this election that makes me wonder about humans in general

it is the behavior of some people around this Proposition. It really all boils down to terror.

We've got to defeat this thing. Of course that doesn't mean they can't bring it up again in 2 years. :(
