The Ringing Silence

So, any regular reader of this blog will by now have discerned that I live in one of this year's battleground states, and as such have been -deluged- for the last month with political media. I was getting three or four robocalls a day, plus a series of increasingly nasty mailers, often again three or four a day, pertaining to the state representative race for this district.

My last call from the Obama camp was last Friday, when I explained to the nice man at the other end of the line why it was that in fact, I didn't require any of the Senator's resources to get me to a polling place in November. It was like flipping a switch. I haven't received a call from either party in over a week now.
