When I worked on a campaign back in '72 a local candidate mentioned he was going to a nearby apartment building that evening to knock on doors and meet the people. A last minute "blitz" before the next day's election.
I mentioned it was a good idea... that there was nothing I would enjoy more than pouring a nice glass of beer, setting back in my comfy chair, switching on Monday Night Football... and then having him knock on my door.
He decided not to go.

I've worked on campaigns but will never do the phone calls. If I find them annoying and don't see any point to them.
