In case anyone is interested in the phone call rather than whether the DNC is a Bush or Obama deal -- yes, it shows up as VERIZON - but it's the same old scam - "congratulations, you are eligible for an Alert---coupons---etc."
We also had a cal from this number - in our case, the caller ID name was strange: V121111147000 , but the number was 212-281-0731. Glad we didn't answer it - they hung up when it went to voicemail.
