After all, she was working for Sen. Ryberg's opponent.  These calls were made at the very last minute on election eve.  The call advised voters that they had the opportunity to send Scott Singer to the Legislature to vote in line with a popular inccumbent, virtually sure to be reelected, Senator Ryberg. Although rebuttal robo calls were sent out by Senator Ryberg and Mr. Singer, I know people who received the initial call but not the subsequent rebuttal calls.  There may have been some damage done to Scott Singer, but I suspect equal harm was done to Tom Young.  And who knows how many people decided not to vote for anyone because of the annoying phone calls!ause</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3569538392853362223/7560625666998773262/comments/default/5998341421880541031'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3569538392853362223/7560625666998773262/comments/default/5998341421880541031'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.aikenjournal.org/2008/12/who-was-hurt-by-election-calls.html?showComment=1230389340000#c5998341421880541031' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.aikenjournal.org/2008/12/who-was-hurt-by-election-calls.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569538392853362223.post-7560625666998773262' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3569538392853362223/posts/default/7560625666998773262' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-945308691'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569538392853362223.post-7890694161508322517</id><published>2008-12-19T18:13:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-19T18:13:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm glad your letter was published so promptly, Di...</title><content type='html'>I'm glad your letter was published so promptly, Dick.
