I just got a (scripted) call from a youngster reminding me that the primary was Saturday and I should vote for Bainum. Then he hung up. Not the most effective call, but hey, for $7.50/hour or whatever, I suppose better than nothing.

Re: GOTV campaign for Bainum
What? Who gets paid?
I did phone bank work for several campaigns... but I did it for free. Come to think of it, since I was still a kid, I was probably violating child labor laws or something.
And I can understand why your caller might've been quick to click. After a few abusive constituents, I found myself praying for answering machines! The sooner you get off the line, the less likely you are to get cornered by a armchair pundit or an especially lonely shut-in...

Eesh...that's a new low in campaigning as far as I'm concerned, even if the kid was possibly being paid (which in fact probably would be in violation of child labor laws if he was a juvenile). If it was me, I'd go complain to your Election Commission.

Re: GOTV campaign for Bainum
Originally posted by LinkmeisterWait, wait. By youngster I meant he sounded like a teenager. I didn't mean he was a 10-year-old kid!
(You gotta remember I'm in my (cough) middle years here, Miulang!)
