As a delegate, I personally would not put much stock
in a candidate's pledge not to use professional
phoners.
While I am always more impressed by candidates who
have the preference, level of support and
sophistication necessary to rely on volunteer phone
banks, sometimes hiring out the job is necessary for a
campaign.
What's clear in Nikki's example though, is that the
Mayor needs to find a better phone vendor. Hopefully
for his sake, a vendor who is not going to turn people
away from RT because of over-aggressive or other
unprofessional practices. Maybe the RT campaign can
hire an in-state vendor at least, and employ some
Minnesotans. I'm pretty sure 910 is a North Carolina
area code.
I'm a delegate, and have yet to receive a single
post-caucus phone call. (Nothing on my caller ID
either.) Maybe my number was mistyped on the delegate
list. I can only hope...
