See if any of the get out the vote callers have a MN. accent:

Twin Ports call centers were hard at work Monday phoning Massachusetts voters.

They’re playing a part in a final blitz before today’s crucial special election for the late Edward M. Kennedy’s Senate seat. Democrats are hoping their candidate, Martha Coakley, can hold onto the seat in support of President Obama’s agenda, while Republicans try to elect Scott Brown to block Obama’s initiatives with a 41st filibuster-sustaining vote.

About 40 people at Quantum Call Solutions in Duluth spent the day dialing up potential Brown supporters and encouraging them to hit the polls. Meanwhile, across the river in Superior, telemarketers at the Hoberg-Shatto Group also tried to work their magic on the tight race. Philip Hoberg, the firm’s co-owner, acknowledged his company was active in the race but would not reveal whether it was working for Brown or Coakley

With the corrupt political machine that's been in place in Mass for decades, there isn't a chance in hell Brown gets elected...I don't know what Vegas odds are now, but its a sure thing (I maxed out my HELOC)......
