The wife and I are both registered as unaffiliated, and for the whole campaign season we have received 5 or 6 calls total. This is for a regular land line and we are listed in the directory.

Mailers, got 3 today, a record, but we have received probably only 30 - 40 total, mostly local and state races. I walk by the recycle bins on the way in from the mailbox, so it's not an issue, file them where they belong.

I have a cell phone only and haven't gotten any political phone calls. Thank God. I have gotten a lot of political mail though.

This is ridiculous! We're already up to a dozen calls for today.

In the past week, I've gotten 9 Presidential, 14 state and local on my cell phone. I'm registered to vote. I've received (in the last week) 27 mailings.

My husband, who is not registered, received 17 presidential and 6 state and local calls on his cell phone.

I will be so glad when this is all over!

OK, that was embarrassing.

Most of these calls come in as Private Number on the caller ID. So, a call comes in this afternoon as a Private Number and as no one who regularly calls here shows as Private I figured it was just another political call. I answered the phone and was talking to DH at the same time...telling him how I was sick of all the messages on the machine that needed to be cleared off so I was going to answer and hang up when the ad started. After a long silence the ad still hadn't started, I heard someone say "Hello?"

It was someone calling to hire my kids for a job. Oops. I apologized and explained about the relentless calls, she completely understood...LOL.
