Question for Iowans

[Frustratedlady]

6. I think a goodly number of Iowans are still interested in the campaign and

follow the process pretty closely, however, the "process" has changed dramatically. Rather than have a year of running, the candidates now start (or hint they might start) months before usual. So, they not only call for donations, but also send out feelers to see how Iowans plan to vote. Eventually, the real campaign begins, but everyone is getting burnt out.

Also, I screen the calls with caller ID. If the number is out of state, I rarely answer as it is probably a robo call. I can't tell you how many calls I've received for walk-in bath-tubs. And, don't forget those which tell me I won $1000 in groceries. Right.

The worst time is near the end of the accounting period/quarter. The phone rings off the hook, but I'm not donating until I pick a candidate. I feel that asking for donations has gone off the pier. That problem has GOT to be resolved.
