Found out what this is...

Essentially boils down to the Romney campaign enlisting robo-callers:
"The people at Rolling Stone figured out the deceptive polling technique when they tested the functionality of the Romney campaign’s social networking feature, “MyMitt.” Volunteers that sign up at MyMitt are encouraged to use the “Call From Home” tool. It was discovered that the script provided to volunteers was the same script used by mysterious pollsters calling likely GOP voters."
The article mentions two area codes, 202 being one of them...all calls I got were from: 202-656-1162
Mitt, nice technique...saves money...but in the end loses votes. So maybe you should stop at six calls in two days, don't you think? Bit excessive there bud!!!
I did not answer, and caller did not leave a message, but Google turned up several scam reports.
