] Fast forward to the days before IA: Trippi's "cell phone ] rings. It's his pollster, Paul Maslin, who not only has ] bleak news out of Iowa -- but bleak news out of New ] Hampshire. Trippi hangs up and stares out the window. His ] phone rings again. "WHAT? Aw, fuck. I hate this business. ] This fucking sucks. Okay, thanks." He hangs up. "They're ] robocalling our ones," he moans. "He has just gotten a ] report from the field that Dean "ones" are getting ] bombarded with computer-generated phone calls telling ] them to make sure to caucus for Dean-then giving them the ] wrong address." [ circumstantial evidence points to John Kerry being the perpetrator of this activity, but of course, there's nothing solid. As far as i've seen this hasn't broken out of the blogs yet, but if it does, and actual proof is found, there's gonna be a fricking shitstorm. There were some seriously filthy politics ("Dean's married to a JEW!" type stuff among the rest) going on in Iowa and NH. Whether it was just some overzealous and misguided tools or an actual campaign remains to be seen. ]-k Daily Kos || Who is robo-calling against Dean? |
