MCGRUFFINI, THE CRIME DOG:

THE ELECTION DAY HOTLINE (Patrick Ruffini, 11.04.02)
I'd like to do a little experiment. For the day tomorrow, Tuesday, November 5, I'd like to turn this site largely over to you by by making this entry an Election Day hotline of sorts. Please write down any firsthand Election Day observations, turnout reports, unsubstantiated insider dirt, and any dirty tricks you encounter as a comment on this entry or e-mail me@patrickruffini.com. You can be completely anonymous if you want to be. My goal is here is to use the Blogopshere an uber-Drudge Report, letting need-to-know information and anecdotal tidbits from across the country stream in unfiltered. Check back early and often.

As if he weren't already serving the nation well enough by helping to elect Jim Talent (R, MO), Mr. Ruffini is turning his blog into an electoral neighborhood watch. Posted by Orrin Judd at November 4, 2002 8:49 PM

I feel so honored....today when I got home from work I had voice messages from ex-Prez Bill Clinton and current President George Bush. Aw shucks, I didn't even believe they had my phone number or even cared about life in small town Iowa. Yesterday the Governor of the State, both of my Senators, and Representative tried to call me and left voice messages. On top of all that, Ark Linkletter (has he ever been in Iowa) called me and asked me to vote for his Candidate of the Day. Unfortunately, all he could talk about was how the opposition to his candidate is a disgrace to the American political scene. That is a pretty low blow!



On a serious side, I would like to see a National No Call Back List for all politicians, political parties, etc. enacted. I'm so sick of negative TV ads but can turn them off. When they start pestering me by unsolicited phone calls, enough is enough.

Democracy ain't pretty.
