What good does it do a polician or a business if the company they hire to make calls does not have someone on the line to talk to if the recipient of the call answers the phone? Or alternatively, what good is it not to leve a message? My guess is they get paid by the number oof calls made and by the number of calls answered and the business or politician is paying them to do nothing. Finally, even if they speak to the person who answers the phone and the issue is controversial or an obvious negative slam against an opponent, then all they have done is annoy the person.Stupid is as stupid does, I guess..
Received a call ~7pm PDT on my cell phone. When I picked up, a recorded voice said, "This is Survey 2010. Do you plan to vote in the Republican Primary?" I hung up before they could say more.
