SUCCESS, YES!!
Well, not actually complete success.
I am calling for Seniors for Obama.
Up until today I got harsh old guys like McCain or no answer or, more often, "I don't take this kind of call". I used to be one of those.
It is alright. I don't take it personally. On the other hand, I was beginning to wonder whether Obama had any seniors going for him in Pennsylvania (the state I am assigned).
But today, almost in succession, two women said they were voting for Obama. They could not volunteer which is the main purpose of the call, but that was OK.
Interestingly, I am not to try to convince them about voting for Obama unless they are leaning or undecided. NO conversions from McCain.
I have made 15 calls and have 2 for Obama at the answer. Both will vote. One absentee.
This is about the percentage the Obama organization suggests will occur. The list is a bottom of the barrel one: not yet contacted, older (some in their 90's), not Democrats and so on.
Labels: Barack Obama, election
