Scarlett says hi

Today I had a telephone call from Scarlett Johansson . Yep. She says “hi.”

Okay, seriously, does anybody actually listen to automated phone calls urging you to vote for so-and-so? (In this case, she was urging me to vote for Obama.) Once I hear the recording start, I just hang up.

Hmm. I guess that’s a testable question. Previous research has shown that calls from nonpartisan turnout advocates don’t work , but I don’t recall anything offhand about partisan appeals like this one.

I sense a research project coming up…
