I mean do statistics show that harassing people to death works?

I am at home with a sick child.  My mobile ran out of minutes (I am not on a US plan) so Ted can only reach me on the home phone.  I am getting constant phone calls about the election tomorrow.  I am not answering numbers I don't recognize, but then I got a call I did not answer.  Then 5 minutes later, the same number called back.  Still I didn't answer.  Then it called a third time.  I didn't pick up (hoping that the 3rd time was the charm).  It immediately called a 4th time.  Hmmm...maybe if I don't answer the 5th one...but then it rang a 6th time.  So I answered fearing that it was maybe my credit card company trying to find out about a suspicious charge...but why would they call from New Jersey?

No.  Vote for Hillary.  What?  They rang my phone 6 times.  What if I had not been home?  Would it have just gone on all day.  It was a poorly recorded message and the voice was droning.

About an hour later, the phone rang again.  302 (Delaware) area code with a local exchange...so I answered thinking it might be a friend.  A live, poised woman politely introduced herself and asked if I was Ann.  I said I was and she informed me that the Barak Obama campaign wanted to remind me to vote tomorrow.  I said I planned to.  Then the person thanked me and hung up.  That was it.  No push about who I planned to vote for.

And really I don't know who I will vote for, but the Clinton campaign's actions really irked me.  I know that she probably did not directly authorize that tactic, but what it said to me was:
1) I do not supervise my staff very well (there are other examples of this throughout the campaign)
2) I don't really give a damn about Delaware
   or I might be short on cash

Not a good impression to make at this stage of the game.
