Of the phone calls I received since April 10th (when I started keeping track)
3 were Wildrose calls (2 robot, 1 human, human asked for me by name)
2 were PC (both robot)
4 were Liberal (all robot, get a better recorder when you make these recordings, crazy liberal lady)
1 unidentified human (when he started talking about the election, I started being fairly rude to him immediately)
9 robo-pollsters.
I'm not really sure what the goal was? Is calling someone with a robot to answer a "quick 5 minute survey" really the best way to go about collecting information? Are the few people who will take the time to answer really the best sample? Gotta fill the 24 hour news cycle somehow, I suppose.
19 calls in 13 days. All to my cellphone. I'm fairly protective of my number, but apparently not protective enough. I'd also love to know how the WRP associated my name with my number. The obvious solution would be to force political campaigners and their associated pollsters to obey the Do not call list, but given who makes the exceptions, I won't hold my breath.
