Quote of the day, from the NYTimes story on Obama making Florida competitive:
“I’ve gotten seven calls from live Obama volunteers — and the reason I’m getting calls is because I signed up on their Web site to get notifications from their campaign,” said Sally Bradshaw, a Republican who was a senior political adviser to Jeb Bush, the former governor.
Ms. Bradshaw, who supported Mitt Romney in the primary, had signed up for the list to keep informed about a rival. “I haven’t received any McCain calls,” she said.

If you drill down, you will discover all kinds of targeted groups, such as “Italian to Italian Peer to Peer Calling,” “Seniors Peer to Peer Call PA,” and “Greek to Greek Peer to Peer Calling.”
