David: Shove Your Political Robo-Call

On his Facebook wall, David Townsend writes: "Well that bit of madness is over and we get a brief respite fromt he presidetial robo-calls. Show of hands. Has anyone ever been convinced to vote for anybody as a result of a recorded message you heard on your landline? Isn't the it the case that you are less likely to vote for someone who has used this campaign technique? Which marketing genius is still convincing candidates to do this? I want their home phone number."

Question: Have you ever not voted for a candidate who was promoted via political robo-call?
