Password Protected

I was reading the chapter on GOTV in the Winning Elections Online, even though I know it isn't part of this weeks reading, and I was very intrigued by the idea of distributing phone and walk lists through a password protected site. This was not because I had never heard of the idea before, but because the mention of disturbing phone lists gave me an idea. Now being vaguely familiar with CATI (computer assisted telephone interview) systems, it occurred to me that it could be set up in such a way that by accessing it would give the user the ability to use a similar system. Now this would allow the user a full interactive script to be able to use for more intensive voter IDing. That data could also go directly to the campaign's database. Now it might be able to go even further, while hooking up your home phone to the computer might be a hassle, but maybe not for your cell phone. My friend had just moved a new place that didn't have an Internet connection yet, her cell phone did. She was able to take her laptop and plug it into her cell phone and connect to the Internet. If you can do that, then surely you should be able to plug your cell phone into your computer and with a click of the mouse have it call, just like a real CATI system does. I think the possibilities with this could be great, not only could you do ID calls; you could have all the candidates issues scripted out and available at the touch of a button. There are just a ton of options that could make people anywhere are critical part of the campaign.
