Robo-Called?

The hot story beginning this weekend and continuing throughout the day today over at the TPM sites was not Ted Haggard, but the GOP's robo-call strategy. The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has put a lot of money into calling constituents, faking that they are from the opposition candidate -- say, for example, the calls that folks in Illinois are getting that are hinted to be from Tammy Duckworth's organization. Apparently, they're doing this in close races all over the country. (No word yet though if a similar GOP organization, say the National Republican Governors, are responsible for the anti-Granholm calls.) Should you get one of these calls, record it if you can, and write down all the relevant information (candidate, the group paying for the call, etc). Then report it to the good folks at Talking Points Memo.
