RACER!!!! come on. Are you being rhetorical?? :)
I definitely would never vote for a candidate based on whether s/he makes recorded phone calls. I'll hang up on them, I'll scream at the phone-- but that's just epiphenomenal.
If Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde (no relation to the legislator of the same name) are both running for a seat in congress, and Dr. Jeckyl's campaign calls me and asks me in loud mechanical tones, to "get out the vote" or whatever for kind Dr. Jeckyl, and Mr. Hyde's campaign doesn't, I'm still going to vote for Jeckyl.
Somebody may have told Jeckyl that he doesn't have a snowball's chance in h*;; of getting elected if he doesn't look under every cabbage leaf (or shout under them) and Hyde may have bazillions of dollars of campaign contributions from EvilCorporation, Inc. -- who knows?
(ps, forgive me EvilCorp, Inc, for calling you EvilCorp. I didn't mean to offend you.)
