re: #87 JamesWI

Actually, this might be different than what I was talking about, since this is poll of people saying whether they’ve been contacted. I think the stuff I was talking about was the numbers released by the parties themselves.

But I still definitely have noticed the difference between the two parties with their “voter contacts” here in WI. We get answering machine messages from Republicans, while the Dems seem to hang up when no one answers. Also, I get tons of mailers from Republican groups (Mitt’s super PAC sends a ton) and much fewer from the Dems.

So it definitely does seem like the Dems are more focused on actually engaging the voters, while the Republicans are content to slip something in the mail and leave it at that.

I phone bank for local Dems., and we’ve been instructed not to leave messages.
I think it annoys people to have a political message on their voicemail.
