Earlier I posted a complaint about marriage calls in Massachusetts. The reader was questioning the strategy. Daily Kos is pointing to the National Organization for Marriage as the caller. Not so, NOM’s president, Maggie Gallagher tells me.

A Brown campaign official who has been investigating tells me: “They are calling via a push-button survey and asking people if they support Obama. If you say ‘no,’ it hangs up on you. If you say ‘yes,’ it then proceeds to give you this rabid right-wing message and tell you to vote for Scott Brown. Again, that message is going to Obama supporters, so it looks like it’s deliberately designed to tick off Ds and Indies.”

UPDATE/CORRECTION: Miscommunication: NOM is doing voter outreach in Massachusetts:

Responding to multiple press inquires, today the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) confirmed its voter outreach campaign supporting Scott Brown in the Massachusetts Senate special election. Over the weekend and continuing today NOM will place over 790,000 calls primarily to Independent and Republican voters to identify voters who support marriage and encourage them to turn out and vote for Scott Brown.

My apologies.
