Comments on Dirty Tricks Update

You've already used the phrase "calls are out" / have a call in

You're already posting like the big boy wanabees!!! Aww

Damn, I'm pretty sure I got one of these but I hit the delete button too quickly. It was someone urging me to vote in the democratic primary though. Came from this # 703 469 2008

@2 - Sorry, I don't buy it: http://www.hillaryclinton.com/help/contact/

The number report itself is heresay at this point, though, and suspect since the first report mentioned the caller ID number being blocked.  Any staffers able to confirm or refute this?

FUCK the state Democratic party. They're a bunch of funking hypocrites. The caucuses are the most undemocratic thing I've ever seen. I have to work on Saturday, so I'm completely disenfranchised.

When the D's joined the R's to file suit against the state open primaries, I pledged never to give the D's a dime. This just reinforces it for me.

Interfering with elections is illegal and can lead to jail terms.

FYI. For accurate caucus info check out WA.BarackObama08.com (think that's it, worst case use www.wa-democrats.org/caucus for locator)

could it have been the fire fighters robo-calling to help get votes so their cash gets pushed thru?

FUCK. Between the Democratic Party's fuckups and the increasingly intense Obamaton/Clintonista animosity, the Democrats are poised to do what they always do - take a potential victory and piss it away.

EVERYTHING was pointing in the Democrats' favor this time. What's it gonna take?

So guys, only one report of one call? anyone else get this?

My guess is the first report is made up, up the homefry that that submitted the report heard his robo call wrong...

prove me wrong? anyone else hear this call?

republicans are such sore losers.

(and yes, they WILL lose, this year)

#9.

I got the call. I telecommute and it came in on a line I largely use for business after hours, so I pretty much guessed it would be Saturday related (since I've had the same landline number in the five years I've been a Seattle voter) and answered.

As soon as I heard the word "primary" in the message's pitch, which was almost immediately after the call started, I listened for anything to identify it. I got Nada. It had no party identification, no Hilary, no Obama, zip. Its language was very typically "get out the vote," but obviously factually inaccurate since I'm a yellow-dog Dem and they never said who to get out the vote FOR.

I honestly don't know who it came from and am not a tin-foil hat kind of guy, but getting something that misleading disturbs me only as a participant in a democracy, not as a Democrat.

Truthfully, the Washington GOP may have just bought a really bad phone list and it was a mistake.

@2:

Nice try.

703-469-2008 is recorded as a missed call 2x on my phone

called it back, it's the clinton campaign. i can't confirm the message is that i vote in the primary.

i received 2 calls today from that same number that i didn't answer. no message was left. i called the number back 5 minutes ago after reading this and the outgoing message identifies it as the clinton campaign (call it yourself). 2 minutes after i called the number i got another call from the number and picked up, dead air. i'm gonna call it again and see if it'll result in another return call.

Just because you're getting calls from the Clinton campaign does NOT mean they are the deliberately misleading calls mentioned in the post. The two are not yet proven to be connected in any way.

yup - false alarm. i got another call. they are NOT saying to vote in the primary. someone is either mis-informed or leading us on. the robo-call simply says to go to caucus and then asks you to id who you are going to support (i.e. push 1 for clinton, 2 for obamba)

sheesh.
