Is This Pre-Recorded Call Really Necessary?

Tomorrow is Election Day, and my phone has been ringing all day with pre-recorded reminders from the candidates. Note that my cell phone is my only phone, so I’ve been able to drag the annoyance along with me all day. Guess political calls are exempt from the laws against cold-calling those names on the Do-Not-Call Registry.

Anyway, it’s a light year around ol’ Weehawken, with State Senator being the highest seat contested — a term I use lightly. I’ve scanned in the pre-election sheet I was sent and highlighted two things that caught my eye:

Yellow: Note the complete lack of Republican (or any other) competition. Not much of a choice, huh? Well, I’ve received no less than two calls on behalf of Mr. Brian P. Stack. You know, it’s kind of hard to lose when no-one is running against you!

Green: This write-in candidate is probably getting my vote just for the honesty in the name of the “party” he’s representing.

Remember to vote, kiddies!
