We live in New Hampshire: the first primary state. Yes, Iowa has their caucuses before we have our primary, but that just means we get to share the attention with them.
Over the last several weeks, we have gotten more and more phone calls from various and sundry political campaigns and survey organizations. We pretty much don't answer the telephone any more. We have a great phone system in our house. Not only does it have caller ID, but it has a voice announcement of the ID. So, we can be sitting in the living room watching television when the phone rings. We merely pause whatever we're watching (even live TV, since we have TiVo), and listen to the ID of who is calling. If we don't recognize the name we return to our 'regularly scheduled programming'.
This afternoon, we have gotten three calls in less than two hours. The first two were announced as "number available", which means there is no name associated with the numbers. The last one was "private caller". The first two got me to peak at the display and then walk away chuckling. The last one was a complete no-brainer. None of our friends block caller ID.
We still have a little over a week until the primary. I wonder how many more calls we're going to get. Maybe I should start a pool?

Let's hear it for the stinking primaries! Where we pick the least offensive candidate and hope that our mediocrity is better than their mediocrity. :/
Or maybe I'm just jaded...
We are cut from a similar gemstone. Here's to hoping my candidate stinks less than the other candidates.
