A reader from Brookline e-mails:

I can confirm those fake National Organization for Marriage telephone polls — the calls specifically announce that they are from NOM, and struck me as counterproductively crude politicking. If they are, in fact, fake, someone needs to be prosecuted for fraud.
I can also confirm the targeted nature of the calls. They referred to my girlfriend’s last name, not mine — she is unenrolled (Mass speak for independent) while I’m a registered Republican.
I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but I’m seeing people waving Scott Brown signs in Brookline — the bluest heart of BarneyFrankistan.
For the first time in my adult life, I may cast a vote that counts in Massachusetts!
