Fivethirtyeight.com reports on automated voter contact phonecalls ("robocalls") being employed in Western Pennsylvania:
Over in Indiana, PA and Northern Cambria, PA, volunteers fielded complaints of a massive wave of ugly robocalls both paid for by John McCain's campaign and those paid for by third parties. The third party call was interactive, and purported to be from Barack Obama himself. The call starts out reasonably, and then "Obama" asks what the listener thinks is the most important issue. Whatever the response, "Obama" then launches into a profane and crazed tirade using "n***er" and other shock language.
This is the Republican party descending into the worst of freakshow politics. Republicans like to talk about how Obama is anti-American, but what does it say about a party's view of America that it believes that Americans will fall for this kind of garbage?
