phone bank

Phone banking for Barak Obama tonight, I just can’t imagine how this makes one scintilla of difference. I hate receiving those phone calls and the only good thing about making them was that most people I called were not home. It was leave-messages night, though, so I had to continually repeat that there was to be canvassing in their area this weekend if they’d like to “get involved.” Maybe this calling makes a difference. Maybe some people are pried off their seats by receiving a phone call from a stranger cheerfully offering them the opportunity to canvass. Maybe. But I just can’t imagine it.
