Is that 140,000 robo-apologies?

Ben Smith does not report, however, whether they were robo-calls or volunteer-based calls. There is a difference, and it’s about a 30% effectiveness rate.

140,000 calls is good, but you have to know that computer calls are simply a matter of money, not effort. The volunteers are all in Jersey.

That said, I don’t mind that either As long as they’re out there, supporting the most conservative candidate that can win, I’m solid.

We cannot take the RNC as an enemy. We have to treat them as a friend, we are PULLING along. The Democrats are the enemy, if they win, we loose…if the GOP wins, we PULL them along…

I wouldn’t look for excuses to rail on the party today of all days.

…but *saying* that they’ve made 140,000 calls on behalf of Hoffman since Sunday, and *making* 140,000 calls on behalf of Hoffman are two different things.

If I *were* cynical, I’d be inclined to fall back on the one-picture-is-worth-1,000-words chestnut — or in this case, 140,000 words.

Nice though, that now that Hoffman seems very likely to win in what is going to be one of the most significant pre-2010 election wins, they want to make sure they get some of the credit for the win.
