<description>Slog reader Julianne writes... I just got a robocall &quot;on behalf of the Barack Obama campaign&quot; telling me to go caucus on Sunday February 10th, and not Saturday February 9th, which is the correct date. They told me to call 866-675-2008 for more information. I just called and it&apos;s the correct number for &quot;Obama for America.&quot; The caller ID was 206-438-4148. I just called it and the recorded message said they had called on behalf of one of their political clients, and that I could get more information on them at callmeyer.com, which is the site of Meyer Teleservices, or...</description>

<title>Comment by Reality Check</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>You know, most of the nation could care less about WA. When I lived on the East Coast, everyone joked about WA being an outpost. I've even heard some of the media mention the other contests occuring tomorrow, but failed to mention WA. Fact is, Washingtonians think they're important, but they aren't.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Obama has been wrong on some other details.  In an e-mail they're telling voters that delegate selection begins no later than 1:30.  It should read "no EARLIER than 1:30", according to party rules.  Everyone's hurried.  Mistakes get made.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>"We" Democrats, Fifty-Two-Eighty, want everybody to vote.  <i>You</i> Republicans and libertarians are the ones who want to exclude those who don't meet your arbitrary standards.</p>

<p>So I don't know what you're complaining about:  if you think the folks we are helping get to the caucus tomorrow are not smart enough to vote, doesn't that help your side?</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Dan Savage</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Uh... if no one gives a shit about WA state voters... why was Clinton here last night, why is Obama here today? And McCain too?</p>

<p>Usually we don't matter in the national vote. If Clinton had sewn it up, or Obama, we wouldn't matter. But with things so close... suddenly we do matter. A bit.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>11 - haven't you gotten the memo?  republicans are evil and the clintons are the ONLY ONES who can protect you from them!  they've been vetted.  VETTED!!</p>

<p>and then when hillary's in office, they will repeal the 22nd amendment, since the clintons are the ONLY LIVING DEMOCRATS who have been battle tested by the republican slime machine. ergo, they're the only ones who can ever be elected again EVER.  got it?</p>

<p>just don't worry, my child.  the clintons are here to protect you.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I think #13 might be on to something.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.sctimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080109/NEWS01/101090036/1001/OPINION" rel="nofollow">It's a firm hired by the Obama campaign.</a></p>

<p><br />
"A St. Cloud-based direct marketing company has been surfing the rising wave of U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's presidential candidacy.</p>

<p>With more than 400 employees in three call centers statewide, Meyer Associates Teleservices has been conducting almost nonstop telephone campaign calling for the Illinois Democrat's second-place showing in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary and his Iowa caucus victory since the holidays, said Jerry Samargia, the company's director of political sales."</p>

<p>Of course, I could be pulling a dirty trick by posting this.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Ditto, Amelia--that's one of the reasons I got rid of my phone.  The landline is how they gain access.</p>

<p>Well, that, and the brain-control waves.  </p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>As of Wednesday, the NYT political calendar had WA <i>caucuses</i> slated for Feb 19 (it's fixed now, your welcome).</p>

<p>And pre-Iowa the Clinton campaign got razzed for publishing the wrong date ... but it turns out they were just echoing a page on the Iowa Democrats official website - which published the wrong date!</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Meyer Teleservices has got some splainin' to do. I don't care who they're doing it for, it's felonious to lie.<br /><br />
It should be felonious to robocall, period, but that law will never see the light of day. Telemarketers SUCK no matter who or what they're working for.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Thanks, stilwell@20.</p>

<p>If this turns out to be an Obama campaign fuckup, I RELISH the apology that I'm sure will be forthcoming from AMB, Reality Check, Bellevue Ave, linus, Cato, Lloyd Cooney, and anyone else who slandered Clinton on this issue without a shred of evidence.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Turns out it was <a href="http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/02/robo_calls_were_from_obama_campaign_not" rel="nofollow">the robocall company's mistake</a>.</p>

<p>Seems apologies are owed from the knee-jerk accusers on both sides.  I won't hold my breath, though.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Cascadian</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The reason why caucuses are such a clusterfuck is that they're run and PAID FOR by the parties, and the Democratic Party is both disorganized and underfunded at the local level. Caucuses are put on by regular people with day jobs who practice partisan politics as a hobby and finance all of their own activity on a volunteer basis. </p>

<p>The alternative is a state-run and state-paid primary. One of the big problems with that in Washington is that our mail-in voting elections under national party rules officially start the day ballots are mailed out, putting the official date before February 2. Only IA, NH, NV, and SC are allowed to go before that date, which is why the majority of remaining states went on the earliest possible date of 2/5. If the Democrats allocated any delegates by primary, those delegates would not be seated at the convention, just like in Michigan and Florida.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>@40  Wow, are you wrong.  Arizona had a primary on Super Tuesday and my parents mailed in their ballots for Edwards a week before he dropped out.  The date of the primary is what counts, not when the ballots get mailed.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I got the same call last night and it is ridiculous that either Hillary or the GOP would do such a thing. They fear a Obama presidency - which they know is going to happen.</p>

<p>PS - for all the folks who say WA doesn't matter - think about that next time you are typing your idiotic emails (on Microsoft Office) or flying in a plane (on Boeing airplane) or even better - shipping a package (UPS started here).</p>

<p>Some people need to learn a little about their country before posting such idiotic messages.</p>]]></description>
