Calling IN could be tough for Clinton

In the democratic primary battle, one weapon of choice is the phone calls.  

For Barack Obama, this means having thousands of people who visit his website make calls from their own phones to voters in places like Indiana, North Carolina, and Oregon to help them learn about voter registration, find their polling place, and even arrange transportation to their polling location.

Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, does not have even close to as many volunteers so she is forced to resort to the old robocall, an automated phone recording.  Just as you'd expect, these do not generally go over as well with voters compared to a real live person.  And guess what?

Robocalls are illegal in Indiana.  So how's she going to get out the vote in the last "battleground state?"

Well, Hillary should give up or whore herself out for money.

While you are correct that Robocalls are "banned" in Indiana, the fact is that a judge recently said that political robocalls could not be banned under that same law.
