I Just Got A Call from Barack Obama's Campaign!!!

[danberkeley]

I just got a phone call form the Barack Obama Campaign. The guy wanted me to remind my parents to vote for Obama. I told him to not worry about it because my parents are now registered Republicans and will vote for Ron Paul. He was speechless. :-D

LOL Did he say if he's heard that on other calls?

 

[newmedia4ron]

I would have said "I have already reminded everyone in the county don't worry about it"

or

"barack who?"

'Barack Obama can't win"

'Barack Obama can't win"

you win, I'm so saying that to obama supporters

 

[Soccrmastr]

you win, I'm so saying that to obama supporters

careful not to be called a racist. Instead say it about Romney. Say Mitt Romney cant win because he doesnt have enough support and his views are too radical. Might get some peoples blood boiling.

hahahah.

When my cousin was called by the Obama campaign, he put on his thickest Southern accent and said, "Obama? He's thet terrist fella, ain't he? I ain't votin fer no terrist!"

 

[newmedia4ron]

actually bring up the patriot act and pressure the caller

 

[idiom]

"I hope you know this call is being monitored by the NSA"

I would have said "I'd vote for him if he had a chance of winning... he's just too much of a fringe candidate. I'm voting for Ron Paul."

'Barack Obama can't win"

LOL! I'd love to see someone say that to their campaign!

Add in "I think Ron Paul has a better chance" and it's perfect

You should have asked him if Obama was going to run 3rd party

You should have asked him if Obama has any electability

Why didn't we make a bunch of articles about how the other candidates are unelectable? Gah, I hate when I think of things after the fact. Though there is still a little bit of time before super tuesday. The other Republican candidates are unelectable except in Bizarro world of course, which does seem to be where we are.

Should have kept the guy busy for half an hour

Do this, keep 'em talking, ask about issues, act like you're going to be convinced. Don't even have to be smarmy or let on that you're a Ron Paul supporter.

Keeps 'em from calling anyone else

Of course if another candidates supporter does this to a Ron Paul caller we're likely to convert them because Ron Paul is right on the issues!

(1) "Great! Thanks for your call. I've been wanting to talk to someone about Senator Obama. I've just got to do something right now... would you mind holding on for a bit, then we can have a good chat?"

(2) Place handset beside receiver.

(3) Go canvassing, with a spring in your step, and wondering how long the caller will hang on for till he gives up!
