...through this clutter, campaigns relied heavily this year on prerecorded phone calls, including messages from celebrities like Norman Schwarzkopf and mother Barbara for Bush; and for Gore, Barbra Streisand, Stephen King and Ed Asner. The Democrats alone planned to make 40 million phone calls in the last 10 days of the campaign. (No word on how many smashed phones electronics stores have been asked to replace.) "Phone messages get more attention than other ads," says Jamieson. "If people agree with what they hear, they play it again and again for their friends." And you just know that folks like that...

And while Diane makes it work, George and Al both looked absolutely absurd with those halogen halos circling their rock-hard coifs. Then the conversation started, and the anguish increased.
