Arrived at the office this morning to find a voicemail waiting for me from the Obama campaign. Their get-out-the-vote effort is so extensive that they had a live person calling me work. Even the volunteer seemed a little surprised. Here’s the message she left me:
My name is Caroline, I’m a volunteer with the Obama campaign in DC. I see you work with The Weekly Standard, so you may be covering this election, but if you’d like to volunteer with the campaign to help get out the vote in Virginia, we’d love to have you work with us. Just give us a call at . . .
At first this struck me as a little absurdist. But of course, lots of journalists covering the election have already done their best to work with the Obama campaign.
