Here in Florida the primary elections are this Tuesday, Aug. 24. My answering machine has never had as much use as it has this past week, and not from my friends and family. It’s all political. One night I came home from work to find 9 messages from candidates.
I early voted this year. (Love that option!)
Now, every time I get another political call I just want to scream “Hey – it doesn’t matter now. I’ve already voted. You can’t influence me.”
But that does no good.
I have to wonder just how successful these phone messages are for the candidates. I mean, I don’t ever listen to a message past the first 3 seconds – even when they get a celebrity to call on their behalf. My finger is on the delete button immediately. I have to think its mostly wasted money from their campaign funds. What do you think?
I almost opted not to vote this time. There is only one race I feel highly confident in my candidate selection (the Orange County Mayoral race.) In most of the other races it’s the battle of “has-been’s” versus “shady newbie”. IMO. But that’s a whole other blog post. Where are the truly good leaders?
Are you voting this primary?
