Be sure to read Greg Belfrage's report of a mass pro-Daschle phone call campaign yesterday where a female caller read a script urging the recipient to call John Thune's office and tell him to "stop his friends from polluting our airwaves."
A friend of mine also received this message on his voicemail and allowed me to listen to it (transcript of call follows, the caller evidently began speaking before the recording started):
"...negative television ads, and a news story where John Thune says it's OK for outside groups to run these ads.In fact Thune's campaign manager, Dick Wadhams, said there's nothing wrong with negative ads. I don't know about you, but the negative campaigns of 2002 were enough for me.
I'm a Republican, but this year I won't support any candidate who runs a negative campaign.
It's time to send a message that we won't stand for it anymore. If you agree, call John Thune's office at 1-605-221-1010, and ask him to stop his friends from polluting our airwaves. Again, that's 1-605-221-1010. Thank you."
Greg promises to investigate who financed these calls and report back to us. Stay tuned.
