MIDVALE, UTAH - "I wish this job would never end", said 76 year old Elthora Gubler calling voters in swing states from the Romney suite at Deseret Telemarketing. Elthora paused a moment and then added, "but my cats need me".
The workers here all agree that this job involves less standing on their feet than at the cannery or the Bishop's Storehouse. Tamara Goodwench, 28 year old mother of seven, said she felt inspiration for her Calling calling when she looks at the lifesize cardboard cutout of her ideal candidate. She added, "I've been told this is better than the real thing".
