Arnold Steinberg has a wrap up of last minute election news at NRO including exit polling and the effect of "absentees". Most troublesome line:
Bustamante's ubiquitous TV spots still rely on a very strong visual: He removes his glasses.I guess you have to see it?
And several California Freepers report bogus automated phone calls, a tape of which was replayed on a local radio show:
I was wondering if anyone had gotten this deceptive robo-call. Armstrong & Getty played it a couple of times this morning. It's by a woman who says (paraphrased - unsure phrases in square brackets):Sounds like the pond scum are desperate."As a Republican woman voter, I favor family values. But Arnold Schwarzenegger's [behavior makes it impossible for me to support him], and Tom McClintock can't win. So, vote no on the recall, and let's wait for a REAL Republican in 2006. And also, vote yes on 53 and no on 54. This message brought to you by the Council of Concerned Women (slightly softer voice) Voters."This is the Democratic platform. There is no such organization as the Council of Concerned Women Voters. She said the word "voters" more softly, and if you weren't listening very carefully, you might think this was the actual conservative women's group Concerned Women for America.
