Saying you are "undecided" is like putting a sign in your yard that says "please, please come talk to me and convince me to vote for your candidate." It's fine if you want more information, but not a good way to get people to leave you alone.Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02578469941039661580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095284393772305956.post-71105189413339429482008-08-26T14:15:00.000-04:002008-08-26T14:15:00.000-04:00I had a different experience...over the past few d...I had a different experience...over the past few days the phone has been ringing nonstop, and the caller ID read: 000-000-0000. So, I passed on picking it up. Cut to incessant: 000-000-0000 -- I lunged for the phone upon receiving a call from said number again. (I mean, could it be - Satan?!) <BR/><BR/>But no, a Jack Evans campaign worker was on the other line and launched into her schpiel even before the comple 'O' in "hello" had escaped my lips. She asked if I'd be voting for Mr. Evans and after reading her the laundry list of campaign calls received, informed her that he had indeed lost my vote.<BR/><BR/>*click!*Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401281910218683136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095284393772305956.post-10873744906373189732008-08-24T23:08:00.000-04:002008-08-24T23:08:00.000-04:00Basically the exact thing happened to me.

"Okay" [Click]<BR/><BR/>I had the same "waiting for the onslaught" transitioned to just plain confused reaction as well. I'll have to give this "undecided" thing a shot for future uninvited calls.voteprimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237660815624420742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095284393772305956.post-33254221039358943822008-08-24T09:53:00.000-04:002008-08-24T09:53:00.000-04:00You think?

Perhaps from Jack Evans' perspective he doesn't feel like he needs to "waste time" courting undecided voters, but these local elections can turn on vote differences of very, very few.Mr. Other Upper NWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12536367497290075887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095284393772305956.post-16293607829906863452008-08-23T17:18:00.000-04:002008-08-23T17:18:00.000-04:00Turnout is going to be painfully low for the elect...Turnout is going to be painfully low for the election, so rather than waste time convincing undecideds, they're probably just putting all their effort into getting supporters to show up and vote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
