Kaboom! Here's the script for Obama's robo-call that puts the hammer down on McCain's own sleazy calls and mailers. In a brilliant maneuver, Obama's call is by a former McCain supporter that flipped to Obama because of McCain's slash-and-burn campaign:
Hi, this is Jeri Watermolen, calling for the Campaign for Change. I live in Green Bay and, like you, I've been getting sleazy phone calls and mail from John McCain and his supporters viciously -- and falsely -- attacking Barack Obama. I used to support John McCain because he honorably served our country -- but this year he's running a dishonorable campaign. We know McCain will continue many of Bush's policies, and now he's using George Bush's divisive tactics. In fact, he hired the Bush strategists whose attacks even McCain once called hateful.
Barack Obama will turn the page on these negative politics and stand up for the middle class. That's the change we need, and it's why I have changed my mind about John McCain. Join me in voting for Barack Obama. Paid for the Campaign for Change, a project of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, 608-255-5172, and authorized by Obama for America.
It appears that this particular call is targeted at Wisconsin. No word if we all will be hearing from Jeri Watermolen or other McCain deserters from other states.
