Hillary Provides Would-Be Voters With Alarm Clock
Long, long ago, I foolishly went to college for one semester in the snowy, desolate mountains of Boone, North Carolina. While there, I responsibly registered to vote so that I might participate in local elections. Despite having lived in Tennessee for 2 years since then and voted many a time here, I am apparently still on the books in North Carolina. Cue Hilary Clinton desperately calling me via an automated call center once or twice every day for the past week. It begins as exactly 9:40 every morning, when she sweetly combines both campaigning and a wake-up call service. I don't even need my alarm clock anymore! For the record, Obama has called me only twice-- and one of those was an actual human being.
I wish Tennessee hadn't foolishly decided to hold its primaries before North Carolina, because even if I weren't already an Obama girl and if I were the most die-hard Hilary supporter ever, this would have totally had me running to Obama's camp as fast as my ire and dislike of the phone could carry me. Let me vote again! Please! Anything to express how off put I am by Hilary calling me more often than that desperate guy who wouldn't believe me when I said "No, I don't want to go out with you!" a dozen times when I was 15.

What is it about incompetent political campaigns and misdirected robocalls this year?
I got a bunch this spring for the Travis County (Texas) DA campaign. Not only have I not lived there for over a year, but they were calling me at my LAND LINE... area code 423... It'd be one thing if they were accidentally calling my 512 area code cell phone, but you'd think whatever Big Brother computer database which was smart enough to link Texas me to my Tennessee phone would be smart enough to weed me out.

I guess what surprised me so much was that I hadn't realized how long I've had my phone number. o.O
