Kirsten Gillibrand has recorded a new robocall getting out the vote for Scott Murphy, the Democratic candidate in tomorrow’s special election to fill her old House seat:
“Scott Murphy will work with me and President Obama to get our economy moving again,” said Gillibrand. “This is going to be a very close election, and Scott needs your support.”
This past Friday’s Siena poll, which showed Murphy taking a four-point lead after having trailed throughout the campaign, gave Gillibrand a favorable rating of 76% to only 18% unfavorable, and Obama had a favorable of 65%-28%. So as much as robocalls are normally pretty annoying things, having Gillibrand call and name-drop Obama might not be such a bad idea.
